Colon cancer is one of the most preventable cancers when detected early. At AIA Singapore, we believe that proactive health screening is key to living a healthier, longer, better life. That's why we have partnered with GutCare, a leading gastroenterology group in Singapore, to make digestive and gut care more accessible for you.
Stop Colon Cancer Before It Starts: The Power of Early Screening
GutCare brings together eight expert consultant gastroenterologists and has performed over 10,000 colonoscopies, offering trusted, high-quality care in digestive health. With a strong commitment to value-based care (VBC), GutCare focuses on prevention and early treatment to improve patient outcomes and reduce long-term healthcare costs.
Smart Screening, Safer Outcomes: Why Colonoscopy Matters
Improved Outcomes: In Singapore, colorectal cancer is the most common cancer affecting men and the second most common cancer affecting women (after breast cancer). Regular colonoscopies and timely removal of polyps can lower your risk by over 70%. Early detection helps avoid more complex and costly treatments, making screening a smart and effective step toward better health.
Efficient Care Delivery: Colonoscopy is a quick, minimally invasive day procedure that detects early colon cancer and removes polyps to reduce risk. At GutCare, this process is supported by simple and easy to take bowel preparation, clear instructions, thorough pre-procedure assessment and attentive follow-up, ensuring patients return to normal life quickly and safely.
Confidence in proven outcomes: At GutCare, we meticulously track colonoscopy outcomes—like polyp and adenoma detection rates, caecal intubation, and withdrawal times—against the national and international standards to ensure the highest quality care and your peace of mind.
Our shared commitment
AIA Singapore and GutCare share a strong commitment to helping you stay ahead of colorectal cancer through proactive, personalised care. By championing early screening and prevention, we're making expert digestive health more accessible, effective, and tailored to your needs.
