The Internal Medicine speciality is a branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases and conditions of adult patients. Internists of the Quirónsalud Marbella Hospital are experts in the comprehensive health care of their patients as they manage a broad range of medical conditions. The team of specialists of our Marbella hospital stands out for its comp rehensive approach and deep knowledge and skills relating to chronic disease. Their objective is to provide a high-quality medical service while guiding the patient and coordinating the actions against their diseases in close cooperation with the other specialists, if necessary, in order to obtain an adequate diagnosis and treatment. One fundamental part of the work of an internist is the management of chronical diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, heart and lung disease, amongst others.

These conditions often require follow-ups and adjustments to the treatment throughout time.

The Internal Medicine team does not only focus on the treatment of diseases, but also on their prevention. Internists work with their patients to identify the risk factors and promote healthy habits.
