INTERNAL MEDICINE SERVICE

Internal Medicine is the root of the rest of medical specialities. Specialists provide a global view, but also at the same time a deep view of the patient and his disease. On the one hand, caring about all details, through making a complete medical history, and by the other hand, establishing the information of the rest of specialists, making it understandable for the patient.

In Magna Clinic the Internal Medicine specialist is in charge of the management of those pathologies that involve the different systems of the patient, that “affect all body”, as it is Diabetes mellitus, high blood pression, Osteoporosis, infectious disease, the prevention of vascular disease (heart attack, strokes…), in close cooperation with the rest of specialties.

The Internal Medicine Unit, directed by Dr. Martinez Peñalver, is in charge of making the patient’s evaluation before, during and after the prescribed treatment in our clinic to make sure the proper function of the protocols. Also his team counts on a wide experience to provide a global, continuous and personalized attention to our patients.
