This Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, we’re highlighting the importance of early detection and access to advanced diagnostic technology.
Bowen Hospital has invested $600,000 in a new state-of-the-art Olympus Aplio i800 endoscopic ultrasound system, enhancing the capability of our Advanced Endoscopy Centre and supporting earlier, more precise diagnosis of complex gastrointestinal conditions.
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is one of the most valuable tools available for assessing conditions of the digestive system, helping specialists detect abnormalities earlier, accurately stage disease and guide treatment decisions.
This investment reflects our ongoing commitment to bringing advanced healthcare technology to our communities and improving outcomes for patients across the Wellington region.
