Cardiology

The Department of Cardiology provides a broad range of services in the diagnosis and management of heart disease. The department comprises a strong team upholding the highest standards of cardiovascular care, a self-reliant institution responsive to the health needs of all our patients. Our  doctors are high skilled professionals from various cardiac subspecialties to treat all types of heart diseases. Patients who are referred by other hospital around Mediterranian Region and other neighboring Europian Union, Russian Federation and Middle East countries for further management of their heart-related disease are generally seen at the specialist outpatient clinics. Those with life-threatening conditions such as heart attack are admitted to  Accident and Emergency (ACIL) Department to receive prompt treatment. Our cardiologists are activated to provide emergency angioplasty for these patients 24-hours round the clock for  the treatment of  heart attack.
