Rheumatology Department
Expert Care for Autoimmune & Musculoskeletal Disorders
Overview
Rheumatology is one of the fastest-growing super-specialties in modern medicine, and Health City Hospital is at the forefront of this evolution. The department focuses on autoimmune disorders and musculoskeletal diseases, including those affecting multiple organ systems. Autoimmune diseases arise when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, and managing them requires high clinical precision and collaborative care.

- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
- Osteoarthritis
- Psoriatic arthritis
- Ankylosing spondylitis
- Gout and metabolic arthropathies
- Vasculitis syndromes and autoimmune myopathies
- Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS)

- Nephrology (e.g., lupus nephritis)

to ensure each patient receives a comprehensive and integrated care plan.
