We understand that gastrointestinal and liver problems can feel deeply personal. In our Gastroenterology & Hepatology Department, specialists provide not just expert medical treatment, but compassionate support throughout diagnosis and healing. Our caring nurses know that even small things, like a comforting cup of tea after a procedure, can make a difference.

• Digestive Disease Expertise: We treat everything from acid reflux, gastritis, and irritable bowel to serious liver diseases like hepatitis and cirrhosis. Our specialists are trained to manage chronic conditions (like Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis) and work closely with dietitians to adapt local diets for better health.

• Advanced Endoscopy: At KMC you can get painless gastroscopies (EGD) and colonoscopies using sedation. We also perform ERCP procedures for bile duct and pancreatic issues, and capsule endoscopy if needed. Importantly, we are vigilant about colon cancer screening – a key health need for all our communities. Early detection saves lives, and we make it accessible.

• Liver Care: Lebanon has a relatively high rate of hepatitis C and other liver conditions. Our hepatology team offers the latest antiviral therapies and monitors liver health with advanced imaging and blood tests. We also coordinate closely with hepatobiliary surgeons if someone needs liver interventions.

Patient Story: Hassan from Matn area came in worried about yellow eyes (jaundice). “They explained I had a blockage in my bile duct,” he says. “The Dr. fixed it with an endoscopy, and gave me medicine for the hepatitis infection. The nurses even wrote me a simple diet plan using local foods. I felt involved in my care, not just treated.”

Questions We Hear: “Is a colonoscopy safe? Does it hurt?” We emphasize patient comfort: our endoscopy suite has a friendly staff holding your hand. The procedure itself is done under sedation, so most patients nap through it. Afterwards, someone will walk you to recovery and explain the results gently.
“What about traditional remedies?” We respect cultural practices. Our doctors can discuss herbal and home treatments you may be using, making sure nothing interferes with your prescribed care.

KMC’s approach to gut and liver health is holistic and personal. We look at the whole picture: nutrition, lifestyle, and emotional support. By walking with you step-by-step (often literally in follow-up visits), we help you feel healthier from within.
