What is Internal Medicine?

The Internal Medicine service focuses on a comprehensive view of the functioning and analysis of the human body, enabling the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of any type of pathology.

The internal medicine specialists (internists) at Centro Médico Teknon accompany patients throughout their lives, from adolescence to old age. When faced with an adult patient's illness, the internist, with a broad and comprehensive view of the patient, coordinates with the other specialists needed to obtain an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

The internist will assist you when you require surgical treatment, both on an outpatient basis for non-life-threatening health conditions and during hospitalisation when the patient needs special care.
