The university affiliation ensures that the latest research in biomaterials, surgical techniques, and rehabilitation science is rapidly translated into clinical practice. Gastroenterology at NUH provides advanced endoscopic procedures, hepatology including liver transplant assessment, management of inflammatory bowel disease, and specialized care for pancreatic and biliary diseases. The department performs highly specialized interventional endoscopy procedures. Fertility services include IVF, ICSI, fertility preservation, and reproductive endocrinology at the NUH Reproductive Medicine Unit.
