POM Heart Care Clinic's General Internal Medicine manages patients presenting with a wide range of acute and long term medical conditions and symptoms.

What We Cover under Internal Medicine

We are able to get 100% diagnosis in all conditions presenting to us and determine options of management and assist and direct our clients to the best possible management options in their best financial and clinical interests. In few rare instances where diagnosis remains elusive, further investigative options are offered.

The varieties of conditions we deal within this realm of medicine to name a few includes, bleeding & clotting disorders, infections (Malaria, Dengue, Diarrhoea, Sepsis,), joint stiffness and pains, shortness of breath, heart burn, abdominal pains, urinary tract problems, sexually transmitted diseases, HIV, kidney problems, metabolic problems, anxiety/neurotic disorders, paralysis, back pains, burning sensations involving nerves, swallowing problems etc.

Heart Disease Treatment

At Port Moresby Heart Clinic we diagnosis all types of heart diseases; These include diseases of the blood vessels supplying the heart muscles called Coronary artery disease such as the heart attacks, the heart muscles diseases called the Cardiomyopathies and the heart valves diseases predominantly Rheumatic valve diseases in PNG. In addition we can diagnose all types of electrical diseases of the heart.

Diagnosis and Treatment

We can be able to localise the heart diseases, prognosticate and determine appropriate treatment. Treatment of heart diseases have been developing rapidly in the last 3 decades. Heart treatment today has evolved from mere drug therapy to more sophisticated devices such as left ventricular assist device, Cardiac resynchronisation therapy and transplant. We advise our patients the right treatment options based on their conditions.

Diagnosis

Our Clinic is installed with both an Electrocardiogram (ECG) and an Echocardiogram to perform cardiac diagnosis.

Echocardiogram/Ultrasound Scan/ Vascular Scanner

Our Cardiologist uses clinical history taking skills to form an opinion of the heart condition. This is supported by an Electrocardiogram (ECG) and if need be a transthoracic echocardiogram (Heart scan), Chest xray and specialist blood tests to make the final diagnosis.

Conditions that cannot be definitively diagnosed in our clinics because of advanced equipment are referred overseas for confirmation. We have personalised contacts and arrangements with National Heart Centre Singapore.

Stroke Treatment

POM Heart Care Clinic also provides specialist diagnosis and treatment for Stroke. We evaluate and determine appropriate treatment for your stroke.

Diagnosis and Treatment

Diagnosis

To determine the most appropriate treatment for your stroke we will evaluate the type of stroke you are having, whether the stroke is caused by a blood clot (ischemic stroke) or a brain bleed (hemorrhagic stroke).

We can then assist you with the following tests and diagnosis

Blood tests
Computerized tomography (CT) scan
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Carotid ultrasound
Cerebral angiogram
Echocardiogram

Treatment

Treatments for stroke vary depending on whether the stroke is caused by a blood clot (ischemic stroke) or a brain bleed (hemorrhagic stroke).

"No matter the type of stroke, acting fast and seeking treatment as quickly as possible is key to reducing the risk of permanent brain damage".

Since a stroke may involve series of treatment, our specialist will closely assist you with which treatment to take and may monitor your recovery progress.

Diabetes Care & Lifestyle Disease Treatment

Diabetes mellitus or type-2 diabetes, is one of the major non-communicable and fastest growing public health problems in the world, is a condition difficult to treat and expensive to manage.

Diagnosis and Treatment

We use capillary glucose, plasma glucose and HBA1c in our diagnosis of diabetes. HBA1c is the gold standard in diagnosis and control assessment of diabetes. Our physician can determine whether you need oral diabetic medications for control of sugar and or insulin and or newer diabetic medicines and assess and treat other associated problems as based on international standard guidelines. We just don’t diagnose but treat to targets so our patients receive value for their money.

Diagnosis ACR

We test blood glucose level and diagnose for different level of diabetes.

Treatment

Based on the diagnosis result we will recommend the type of treatment for you. Treatment may include dietary and or physical exercises, diabetes medication or insulin therapy and monitoring blood sugar level.

Second Medical Opinions & Medical Litigation Assessments

Our Specialist Doctor provides second medical opinion to patient who may have doubts in their earlier diagnosis and or treatment or strongly believe that there might be a case of malpractice.

Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice occurs when a medical practitioner acts in a negligent manner when treating a medical condition. Examples of medical malpractice include failure to diagnose, or misdiagnosis of a disease or medical condition, failure to provide appropriate treatment for a medical condition

The good medical malpractice case will have substantial injury as a result of medical services done below the standard of care. Both damages and poor practice are needed. Opinions differ greatly as to what constitutes substantial damages and poor practice.

If you suspect that your physician has been negligent, you may contact us for second medical opinion.
