Shenzhen Qianhai Shekou Free Trade Zone Hospital - The Hong Kong-Macau Resident Healthcare Services Center - Pain-free (sedative) Gastroscopy

Special Notes

• If the doctor assesses that the client is not suitable for endoscopy, a doctor consultation fee of HKD500 will be charged, and the remaining balance will be refunded.
• The final price for the endoscopy service will be determined based on the results of the examination (i.e., the number of polyps and biopsies taken during the procedure). For your health, the doctor will usually remove the polyps directly during the examination. The patient will pay the difference at the hospital after the examination (WeChat HK and Alipay HK payments are accepted). If polyps are found during the examination, the typical laboratory fees are:
  • Stomach: 200-700 RMB
  • Intestine: 200-1100 RMB
  • Stomach and Intestine: 200-1800 RMB
