Internal Medicine and Clinical Immunology

The Department of Internal Medicine and Clinical Immunology, founded in 1979, offers comprehensive and coordinated services in care, teaching, and research.

It is staffed by a team of five doctors specializing in internal medicine and clinical immunology, as well as one doctor specializing in allergology and clinical immunology.

The department’s mission is to care for adult patients without a diagnosis, polypathological patients, and those suffering from systemic and immune system diseases.

It serves as a center of excellence for both the initial and continuous training of medical interns in the country.
