In the realm of bowel cancer care, the arrival of Dr. Nadia Maqboul at endosQ has brought new possibilities and enhanced expertise to the Mackay and surrounding regions. With a strong dedication to improving healthcare access and a wealth of experience in interventional endoscopy and bowel cancer screening, Dr. Maqboul's presence represents a significant advancement in addressing the healthcare disparities faced by regional communities.
Bowel cancer is Australia’s second deadliest cancer and has the second highest disease burden of any cancer in Australia. It continues to be a significant health challenge, particularly in regional locations where access to specialised care and support services are limited.
Over 90 per cent of specialists in Australia live and work in metropolitan areas resulting in those living in regional areas considerably disadvantaged, resulting in travel for services such as gastroenterologists. Only five part-time gastroenterologists service the Queensland population north of the Sunshine Coast to South of Townsville.
With a firm commitment to addressing this disparity, endosQ has been taking proactive steps for the past 15 years to ensure individuals in the Mackay and surrounding regions have equal opportunities for prevention, early detection, and support throughout their journey.
EndosQ was established in 2008 by Dr James Daveson, a leading gastroenterologist, who has been dedicated to providing residents within the Mackay-Isaac-Whitsunday region the same quality of services and expertise otherwise only found in large cities. With the increase in awareness around bowel cancer prevention and a need to increase availability, endosQ have made it their mission to attract leading specialists from across the globe to ensure residents within the region are supported.
Dr Nadia Maqboul has recently joined the team and brings with her a wealth of experience.
Dr Maqboul is an interventional endoscopist with an interest and expertise in bowel cancer screening. She has worked in both metropolitan and regional Australia, after completing her training in London and Australia.
“The Mackay and surrounding regions are incredibly fortunate to have someone of Dr Maqboul’s calibre working in our community”, said Dr Daveson.
Dr Maqboul is ardently dedicated to her work in the gastroenterology field and in particular, is focused on improving healthcare access for people in regional communities. Her desire to raise awareness around the importance of bowel cancer screening amongst all cultural groups and in particular women is something she feels strongly about.
“We believe that everyone, regardless of their location, deserves equitable access to support and care around bowel cancer,” commented Dr Daveson.
“Through our team of professionals, we are committed to empowering regional locations, strengthening support networks, and making a lasting impact on the lives of individuals.”
