Specialized Medical Units
DOCAMED organizes its primary services into four flagship units. Each focuses on a specific medical direction with dedicated specialists.
Oncology and Hematology (ONCO5)
The ONCO5 unit provides chemotherapy and specialized cancer care. Led by Dr. Benis Gonzalez Frias, the team treats common cancer types. Services include clinical oncology consultations and oncologic surgery. The unit offers both outpatient chemotherapy and inpatient hospital care. Clinical psychology support is part of the treatment pathway.
Fertility and Reproductive Medicine (UEFIV)
The UEFIV unit has operated for over 20 years. It manages infertility cases using various reproductive technologies:
- In vitro fertilization (IVF)
- Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)
- Artificial insemination
- Hysteroscopy and laparoscopic surgery
The unit includes a dedicated cervical pathology section for diagnostic care. It also has its own clinical laboratory for rapid testing.
Bariatric and Metabolic Care (COCIB)
The COCIB unit manages obesity through surgical and non-surgical methods. Options include the intragastric balloon and bariatric surgery. The program provides long-term support through nutritional guidance and group therapy. Patients can also access reconstructive surgery after significant weight loss.
Otorhinolaryngology (ENT)
The ENT department treats conditions of the ear, nose, and throat. Dr. Yuderka Santana Méndez focuses on rhinology and sleep disorders. The unit provides otoneurological assessments for vertigo and hearing loss. Procedures cover common issues such as chronic sinusitis and sleep apnea.
Diagnostic Technologies and Imaging
The IMADI unit is the primary imaging center for the complex. It provides diagnostic tools and image-guided interventions. Services include sonography, digital mammography, and Doppler color imaging. Specialists also use densitometry to assess bone density for metabolic evaluations.
IMADI performs several minimally invasive diagnostic procedures:
- Sonography-guided biopsies
- Fine-needle aspiration (FNA)
- Percutaneous drainage
- Tumor lesion marking
These tools allow precise tissue sampling without major surgical incisions.
Patient Safety and Support Services
DOCAMED follows international protocols for patient identification and clinical hygiene. The facility conducts regular emergency response drills, including national earthquake evacuation simulations. Surgical patients receive detailed pre-anesthesia guidance on fasting and medication management. After procedures, the clinic provides physiotherapy to assist functional recovery.
