The Hospital Vega Baja, part of the Department of Health in Orihuela, has introduced advanced endoscopy equipment to enhance its Digestive Endoscopy Unit. The new gear includes a complete tower with a cart and a high definition four K monitor, as well as high definition imaging processors, an adult therapeutic video gastroscope with high definition chromoendoscopy technology, and a high definition paediatric video colonoscope. The total investment for this equipment, including comprehensive maintenance, amounts to one hundred eighty-eight thousand two hundred seventy-five euros.

This cutting-edge technology is set to improve diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities for digestive endoscopies, offering increased accuracy in lesion and pathology detection. The high definition and chromoendoscopy features will enable minimally invasive interventions for both adult and paediatric patients.

In addition, the Hospital has acquired two new video endoscopy towers, one featuring a touchscreen interface, intended for the Otolaryngology department. This modernisation is poised to enhance diagnostic quality and patient care during consultations. The investment for these video endoscopy towers totals one hundred fifteen thousand seven hundred sixty-three euros, providing precise visualisation that bolsters the efficiency and safety of otolaryngological examinations.

This initiative reinforces the Hospital Vega Baja’s commitment to upgrading medical technology and improving patient experience. These advancements are part of the continuous improvement plan by the Department of Health in Orihuela, aimed at ensuring high-quality, safe, and innovative public healthcare for the entire community.
