Internal medicine

Prevention, diagnostics and non-surgical treatment of internal organ diseases

An internal examination gives an overview of general health, while a specialist pulmonologist provides the patient with a detailed insight into the condition of the respiratory organs. At the Moj Lab Polyclinic, we have doctors whose great expertise, reinforced by the most modern, sophisticated devices, provides a reliable support for patients.

Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, preventive examinations, as well as check-ups after COVID-19 infection, are now performed in our polyclinic by Dr. Nena Milačić, internist pulmonologist, who occupies a respectable place in her profession thanks to her expertise and experience.

Dedication and expertise supported by state-of-the-art equipment

In the era of increased incidence of lung diseases, internal and pulmonary examinations have become especially important.

Jovan Utješinović

Pneumophthisiology Specialist

Numerous infectious diseases pose a real challenge for the doctors, which applies to both – infectious diseases with the same clinical symptoms, or a single disease that manifests differently. Timely identification of a possible cause, adequate and quick reaction are a crucial factor in healing, and in the case of severe infections, they save lives. With the acquired knowledge, enriched by decades of experience, and the precise diagnostics of the new generation that is available in the Moj Lab Polyclinic, I am dedicated to those who have entrusted us with the task of taking care of their health with a lot of confidence.
