Clinic Overview
Egemed Internal Medicine Clinic: The Center for Adult Health Solutions
The Department of Internal Medicine is the most comprehensive specialty field, forming the foundation of modern medicine and serving as the first point of contact for all non-surgical health issues in adult patients. The Egemed Hospitals Internal Medicine Clinic provides services with an infrastructure organized in line with scientific and technological advancements, a team of experienced specialist physicians, and a multidisciplinary approach.
From febrile illnesses to metabolic syndrome, and from kidney dysfunction to complex gastrointestinal issues, identifying the root cause of the disease and determining the appropriate treatment plan is the primary responsibility of our Internal Medicine specialists for all complaints related to the body’s internal functions.
Why Start with Internal Medicine? (The Detectives of Medicine)
Patients who present to the hospital with nonspecific symptoms such as abdominal pain, loss of appetite, persistent cough, fatigue, or unexplained weight loss are first referred to the Internal Medicine Clinic. Our physicians objectively evaluate the patient as a "whole" rather than in isolated parts. Following comprehensive blood tests, radiological imaging, and a clinical physical examination, a diagnosis is made and the patient’s medical (pharmacological) treatment is initiated.
Major Disease Groups Treated and Monitored at the Clinic
Our internal medicine specialists apply the latest diagnostic and treatment protocols for a wide range of conditions:
Subspecialties of Internal Medicine
With the advancement of modern medical science, the Department of Internal Medicine has branched out into numerous specialized subspecialties. Our clinic ensures seamless management of the patient’s care by referring them to the appropriate subspecialty when necessary:
Pre- and Post-Surgery Internal Medicine Support
At our hospital, the Internal Medicine specialist serves as the primary coordinator who refers patients—whose diagnosis has been established and for whom medical treatment alone is deemed insufficient—to all relevant surgical departments, particularly General Surgery.
The specialist does more than just refer patients; when a decision to perform surgery is made, they conduct the preoperative evaluation to determine whether the patient is fit for anesthesia. By directly intervening to address potential post-operative complications such as blood pressure imbalances, cardiac arrhythmias, lung capacity issues, kidney failure, or liver problems, the coordinator ensures the patient’s safe discharge.
