Family and Internal Medicine
Comprehensive Care for Every Family Member
Comprehensive Care for Every Family Member
Family and Internal Medicine are two essential pillars of primary healthcare. While both focus on diagnosing, preventing, and managing a broad range of health concerns, they serve slightly different roles:
Together, these two specialties form the foundation of modern medicine – offering continuity, early detection, and personalized care that supports lifelong wellness.
At Sheikh Sultan Bin Zayed Hospital, we bring both specialties under one roof – ensuring seamless coordination between general wellness and specialized care. Whether you're coming in for a routine check-up or seeking support for a chronic condition, our integrated approach means you get the right care, at the right time, from the right people.
You may need to see an internist if you're living with chronic conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, or respiratory issues (such as asthma or chronic lung disease). Internists also provide comprehensive assessments and often coordinate with other specialists to manage complex or overlapping medical concerns.
Regular check-ups with your internal medicine physician can help prevent complications and keep you on track with your health goals.
Our Family Medicine team focuses on whole-person care – from prevention and treatment to ongoing care – tailored to every stage of life.
Preventive Care & Annual Check-Ups
Routine health screenings, blood work, and physical exams to help catch issues early and maintain overall wellness.
Adult to Geriatric Care
Ongoing care and monitoring for patients across all adult age groups, with special attention to age-specific needs.
Vaccinations & Immunizations
Protection against seasonal illnesses and vaccine-preventable diseases, including flu, tetanus, and travel-related vaccinations.
Chronic Disease Management
Support and treatment plans for long-term conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
Women’s Health & Screenings
Routine women’s health visits including Pap smears (cervical cancer screening), breast exams, and contraception counseling.
Lifestyle & Wellness Guidance
Nutritional counseling, weight management, smoking cessation, and general wellness planning tailored to your goals.
Internal Medicine focuses exclusively on adult care. Internists are specially trained to manage complex or chronic health issues in adults – typically aged 18 and above. They do not treat children; instead, younger patients are seen by our Family Medicine team, who are equipped to care for patients across all age groups.
Diagnosis & Management of Complex Conditions
Expertise in evaluating overlapping or long-standing health problems, from autoimmune diseases (where the immune system attacks the body) to endocrine disorders (hormonal imbalances such as thyroid issues or diabetes).
Coordination with Specialists
Smooth referrals and shared care plans with cardiology (heart), endocrinology (hormones), pulmonology (lungs and breathing), and other departments when needed.
Hospital-Based & Outpatient Care
Continuity of care whether you’re visiting as an outpatient or being treated during a hospital stay.
Pre-Operative Evaluations
Thorough assessments and risk evaluations before surgery to ensure safe outcomes.
Conveniently located in Al Batayeh, Sharjah, Sheikh Sultan bin Zayed Hospital is easily accessible and serves communities across the Northern Emirates.
