Family medicine at the New Life Clinic

Family medicine is based on a comprehensive approach to providing medical care at the outpatient stage. A family medicine doctor monitors the overall health of patients, develops treatment and wellness plans. During consultations with specialized doctors, they consolidate all recommendations, create an individual plan for examinations and further treatment, coordinate this process, and set priorities.

Patients visit a family medicine clinic to receive advice and recommendations on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of:

• Health monitoring.
• Prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
• Management of gastrointestinal diseases.
• Diagnosis and treatment of respiratory illnesses.
• Coordination of consultations with specialized doctors.
• Adjustment of prescriptions and treatment control.

Family medicine is not just about therapy or treating all family members with the same doctor. The word “family” is not the key focus. Family members can choose different doctors. The core idea lies in the holistic approach to patient health. A family doctor is the first specialist patients consult and the one who accompanies them until the completion of treatment.

At the “New Life” clinic, successful practices from American colleagues are adopted. Doctors are trained under the guidance of a practicing specialist from the USA.

Specialists at “New Life” perform diagnostics using modern technologies and methodologies.

• Comprehensive examination. In just 45 minutes, patients can undergo an examination to determine key indicators and markers for common diseases. This includes a thorough physical examination, general blood and urine tests, blood sugar measurement, and ECG. If necessary, additional procedures like endoscopy, ultrasound, blood biochemistry, and specific cardio- or tumor markers analysis are conducted.
• Family doctor consultation. The clinic’s setup ensures maximum convenience: patients receive consultations in a comfortable setting. Diagnostic tests and examinations are conducted in one place, minimizing waiting time and improving the overall patient experience.

In many cases, no specific treatment is required, but a family doctor can predict the risk of serious conditions based on certain markers. Preventive measures are then prescribed, including:

1. Lifestyle modification.
2. Recommendations for physical activity, diet, and nutrition.
3. Medication (if necessary).

The doctor oversees these measures, monitors the patient’s condition dynamically, and ensures adherence to recommendations. If a patient has multiple conditions, the family doctor coordinates the treatment process, ensuring an individualized approach.

Based on examination results, a family doctor diagnoses and prescribes appropriate treatment. At “New Life,” patients can seek help for various conditions, from ENT issues to surgical cases. Family medicine doctors collaborate with specialized doctors to align treatment plans.

In Ukraine, there is a growing trend to treat most illnesses on an outpatient basis, which is more cost-effective and efficient. Family medicine doctors help patients navigate their health status, coordinate all treatment stages, and act as guides in the healthcare system.
