At L’Abbraccio Children’s Hospital, the General Medicine Department welcomes and cares for adult patients from the community, complementing the hospital’s pediatric services.
This department serves as an essential gateway to primary health care, offering comprehensive, continuous, and patient-centered care.
Our team provides:
- general medicine consultations for the diagnosis and treatment of common conditions
- management of chronic conditions (high blood pressure, diabetes, etc.)
- primary care and referrals to specialized services when necessary
- prevention, screening, and health education
- management of non-specialized emergencies
We pay particular attention to:
- access to care for local populations
- continuity of medical care
- the quality of the caregiver–patient relationship
General practitioners also play a central role in the technical coordination of clinical activities, contributing to continuity of care, appropriate patient referrals, and improved quality of care within the facility.
