The Internal Medicine Department at Hygeia Hospital is one of the leading and most important departments, due to the wide range of diseases it treats and the many specialties it includes. This department focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of a broad spectrum of diseases in adults and the elderly.
This department’s daily activity is based on consultations and multispecialty follow-up, with one of its strengths being the collaborative work of its specialist physicians.
The key to this Department’s success:
A team of experienced and qualified doctors, under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Arben Pilca, available to patients at all times, 24/7, every day of the year.
Each specialty within this Department offers specialized consultations at any time. In complex cases, group consultations are also provided (with a panel of specialists). This means that the patient receives the best possible care from all specialists within the same structure without needing to go elsewhere. Consultations and accompanying examinations—which are crucial for reaching an accurate and safe diagnosis—are performed on the same day.
For complex disease cases, patients are also offered the possibility of obtaining a second opinion from specialist doctors at Hygeia Hospital in Athens, through real-time online consultations made possible by the PACS System installed at Hygeia Hospital. Everything functions toward a single goal: providing high-quality, prompt service, accurate diagnoses, and as a result, effective treatments for patients.
Close collaboration with other Hospital Departments:
The doctors of this Department also work closely with all other departments in the hospital, particularly with the core departments that support accurate, fast, and above all safe services. These include the Clinical-Biochemical-Immunological-Hormonal Laboratory, the Anatomical Pathology Laboratory, and the Imaging Department (X-ray, CT scan, MRI, Ultrasound, etc.), all of which serve patients 24/7, every day of the year.
