Preventive medicine has been Metropolitan Hospital’s key objective since the first year of its operation. The quality of an individual’s life is directly linked to the prevention and detection of a condition at an early stage, rather than treatment at a later stage. At Metropolitan Hospital, we have created special check-up packages, tailored to different needs.
