What happens at the appointment
The doctor will ask about your symptoms, any chronic conditions and the medicines you take. They’ll measure your blood pressure and oxygen saturation and examine you. If you need an ECG, it’s done right here at the polyclinic.
Mention all your symptoms, even ones that don’t seem connected. An internist looks at your health as a whole, so any detail can matter.
At the end, the doctor will tell you which tests to take, whether you need treatment and which specialist to see. Tests are done at the clinic’s own laboratory, Diagnost-Lab, and you come back to the internist with the results.
When to start with an internist
If you’re not sure who to see, start with an internist. They look for the link between your symptoms and possible illnesses and diagnose conditions of the lungs and airways, the heart and blood vessels, the digestive system and the kidneys. If the case is within their scope, the internist prescribes treatment. If not, they’ll suggest the tests you need and refer you to the right specialist. That way you don’t have to go from one office to another at random.
People also see an internist to keep their blood pressure under regular control, make sense of test results or have a preventive check-up when nothing hurts.
Severe chest pain, difficulty breathing or a sudden turn for the worse needs emergency care. In that case, don’t wait for a routine appointment.
What you can do at the clinic right away
The polyclinic does ultrasound, ECG and spirometry and measures oxygen saturation. Lab tests are done at Diagnost-Lab at 32 Sobornosti St. If you need a specialist after seeing the internist, a cardiologist, gastroenterologist, pulmonologist, endocrinologist, hematologist, allergist and immunologist consult right here at Viva Clinic, so you won’t have to travel to Kyiv, Lviv or Khmelnytskyi. Specialist consultations are paid.
Questions about seeing an internist
How is an internist different from a family doctor?
An internist treats adults, while a family doctor sees patients of any age and looks after them under a declaration, the patient's registration with a primary care doctor in Ukraine. Viva Clinic's family doctors include internists too. If you're an adult and not sure who to see, start with an internist.
What does an internist treat?
Diseases of the internal organs: the lungs and airways, the heart and blood vessels, the digestive system and the kidneys. An internist looks for the link between your symptoms and a possible illness. If the case is within their scope, they prescribe treatment themselves. If not, they refer you to a specialist.
Which internal medicine specialists see patients at Viva Clinic?
Besides the internist, a cardiologist, gastroenterologist, pulmonologist, endocrinologist, hematologist, allergist and immunologist consult at Viva Clinic in Slavuta. The internist will tell you which of them to book. Specialist consultations are paid.
Can I have tests done for free?
Yes, if you have signed a declaration with a Viva Clinic internist or family doctor. Then that doctor's appointments, basic lab tests and an ECG are free for you. Ultrasound and spirometry at the clinic are paid. Without a declaration, a consultation with an internist is paid.
What should I bring to an internist?
Previous test results, medical reports and a list of the medicines you take. If you measure your blood pressure at home, write down your readings for a few days and bring them. This shows the doctor what your blood pressure is like outside the office.

Constant fatigue and weakness: what to do
Constant fatigue is most often caused by lack of sleep, overwork and stress, but sometimes it's a symptom of anemia, thyroid disease, high blood sugar or depression. If you've had no energy for several weeks even though you get enough sleep, see an internist. Testing usually starts with a complete blood count, ferritin, TSH and glucose.
What is an internist and what do they treat?
An internist treats adults with general health complaints such as a fever, cough, high blood pressure, weakness or stomach pain. They manage long-term conditions, explain test results and refer you to a specialist when one is needed. If you're an adult and not sure which doctor to see, start with an internist.
Low blood pressure: what to do and how to raise it
Low blood pressure usually means a reading under 90/60 mmHg. If you feel well, these numbers don't need treatment: in many young, slim people this is normal. If low blood pressure comes with dizziness, weakness or fainting, sit or lie down and raise your legs, then see a doctor to find out the cause.
What a complete blood count shows and how to prepare for it
A complete blood count (CBC) shows the number of red and white blood cells and platelets and the amount of hemoglobin in your blood, and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is often measured with it. From the results, a doctor can spot anemia, signs of inflammation and other changes and decide whether you need more tests. The test is done in the morning, usually on an empty stomach.
Eye pressure: what raises it and how it is checked
Eye pressure, or intraocular pressure, is the pressure of the fluid inside the eye. It rises when fluid drains out of the eye more slowly than it is produced, and over the years it can damage the optic nerve, which leads to glaucoma. Eye pressure usually isn't measured at home: an ophthalmologist checks it, and the measurement is painless and takes a few minutes.
High blood pressure: what to do at home and how to lower it
If your monitor shows high blood pressure, sit down, rest quietly for 5 minutes and then measure again. If the numbers don't come down, take only the medicine your doctor has already prescribed for this situation, and contact your doctor the same day. Chest pain, shortness of breath, trouble speaking, weakness in an arm or a sudden severe headache with high blood pressure mean you should call an ambulance on 103 right away.
Health Screening 40+: what's included and where to get it in Slavuta
Health Screening 40+ includes blood pressure and pulse measurement, weight, height and waist measurement, a questionnaire about your lifestyle and symptoms, a health risk assessment and at least two blood tests: a lipid profile and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). It's free for Ukrainian citizens aged 40 and over, who apply for the funds in the Diia app or at an administrative services center (TsNAP). At Viva Clinic in Slavuta, it's done at 3 Danyla Halytskoho St, usually in one visit, and you book through the online form on the website.
What ferritin is and what to do if it's low
Ferritin is the protein your body stores iron in, so a ferritin test shows how much iron you have in reserve. Low ferritin most often means iron deficiency, sometimes even before your hemoglobin drops. Don't try to raise it on your own: a doctor first looks for the cause of the deficiency and only then decides whether you need iron supplements.
