Doha, Qatar: Sidra Medicine, a member of Qatar Foundation, has expanded its diagnostic capabilities in pediatric gastroenterology (GI) with the launch of a dedicated GI Motility Center. With new procedures including colonic and antroduodenal manometry, the center offers the most advanced and specialized procedures in gastrointestinal motility testing worldwide.

The pediatric GI Motility Center’s capabilities include esophageal and anorectal manometry, pH impedance testing, electrogastrography, breath testing, and biofeedback therapy, now further enhanced by colonic and antroduodenal manometry.

Dr. Zeyad Abdulkader, Pediatric Gastroenterologist and Neuro-gastroenterology and Motility Specialist at Sidra Medicine said: “With this milestone, Sidra Medicine stands as the first and only comprehensive pediatric motility clinic in the region, offering the full spectrum of advanced diagnostic and therapeutic motility services under one roof. These specialized procedures are transformative for children suffering from complex and often misunderstood gastrointestinal disorders. By enabling us to precisely evaluate the neuromuscular function of the digestive tract, we can identify specific dysfunctions and deliver more targeted and effective treatment plans that improve outcomes and quality of life.”
