Initiative for Biliary Disease and Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in District Hospital –Temerloh, Pahang
Abstract
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a procedure that combines endoscopy and fluroscopy primarily available in tertiary centers. Limited access in non-urban settings often results in delayed diagnosis and intervention. This study reviews the journey of ERCP service in a district hospital in Temerloh, Pahang, assessing feasibility, safety, and outcomes. ERCP service has been extended to several districts in Central Pahang including Temerloh, Maran, Bera, Bentong, Raub, Jerantut, Cameron Highland and Lipis - serving an estimated combined population of approximately 450,000 people.
