Internal Medicine
Internal medicine is the medical specialty that deals with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of adult diseases.
The Internal Medicine department at Livingstone Health sub specialises in Endocrinology and Gastroenterology, both of which are crucial to maintaining a normal body function. We focus on the diagnosis, prevention and management of gastrointestinal, liver and endocrine conditions.
We strongly believe that medical conditions can be managed to achieve good clinical outcomes by partnering with our patients, together with the provision of high quality all-rounded and consistent care that the Livingstone team is committed to.
