At Lenmed Ahmed Kathrada Private Hospital, Capsule Endoscopy is performed using modern gastrointestinal imaging technology and individualized diagnostic planning. Established in 1984, the COHSASA, ISQua accredited hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa has 254 beds and offers comprehensive digestive health services.

Capsule Endoscopy allows doctors to examine the small bowel without inserting a conventional endoscope through the mouth or anus. The patient swallows a pill-sized camera that takes photographs as it moves through the digestive system. The images are transmitted to a recording device worn by the patient and later reviewed by a specialist. Depending on the findings, the test may help identify bleeding, inflammation, ulcers, polyps, or other abnormalities that may not be detected through routine examinations.
