Why Internal Medicine Clinics Are Important

Internal medicine clinics provide long-term, preventive, and specialized care, often acting as the primary healthcare provider for adult patients. They also coordinate care with specialists such as cardiologists, endocrinologists, and orthopedic surgeons when needed.

Since we own an surgery , orthopedic , emergency clinics, and a beauty medical center, having an internal medicine unit could help with preoperative screenings, chronic disease management, and overall patient wellness.

Pre-operative services aim to assess a patient's health status, reduce surgical risks, and improve post-surgical outcomes. These typically include:

1. Preoperative Medical Evaluation (PME):

   • Comprehensive health assessment before surgery.
   • Review of medical history, current medications, and allergies.
   • Assessment of chronic conditions (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease).

2. Risk Assessment & Optimization:

   • Identifying potential surgical complications.
   • Managing conditions like anemia, heart disease, or infections before surgery.
   • Medication adjustments to avoid interactions during surgery.

3. Preoperative Laboratory & Diagnostic Tests:

   • Blood tests (CBC, kidney and liver function, coagulation studies).
   • Electrocardiogram (ECG) for heart health evaluation.
   • Imaging studies (X-ray, ultrasound, or CT scans as needed).

4. Anesthesia Clearance & Coordination:

   • Ensuring the patient is fit for anesthesia.
   • Consultation with anesthesiologists for customized anesthesia planning.

5. Nutritional & Lifestyle Guidance:

   • Dietary modifications for better healing.
   • Smoking cessation programs to reduce lung complications.

6. Postoperative Planning & Follow-Up:

   • Discharge planning and rehabilitation strategies.
   • Coordination with specialists for ongoing care.

These services help minimize surgical risks, enhance recovery, and improve overall patient outcomes.
