We provide a wide selection of specialist services within the hospital. The hospital provides high quality equipment to support these types of services.
Our specialist services include the following:
3.1. Ophthalmology
Our ophthalmologists at the Swedish Specialist Hospital has long experience of common and unusual eye conditions, they treat patients from all ages from babies to the elderly. They are specialized in the diagnosis, treatment and the prevention of diseases of the eye and the visual system.

3.3. Gynecology
Our gynecology doctors specialise in diseases of the female genital tract and women's health. This means diseases of the uterus (womb), fallopian tubes, ovaries, cervix (opening of the womb), vagina, and vulva (external genital organs). A gynecologist also specializes in menstrual problems, contraception, sexuality, menopause, and infertility. Many gynecologists also provide prenatal care. Some gynecologists may perform primary care services depending on their experience and training. In these days of managed care and HMOs many primary care providers (doctors or nurse practitioners in Internal Medicine, General Medicine, or Family Practice) are doing some basic gynecology and refer only to a gynecologist when they feel the condition is more appropriate for the specialist to handle. Most women should go to a provider for routine annual pelvic exams. A gynecologist is probably more appropriate if there is a history of women's problems in the patient or her family, or if there is a condition which is not improving despite the primary care provider's best efforts. Another indication that a gynecologist may be preferred is if a woman always has a difficult or painful exam due to her size (large or small). A gynecologist may have better equipment available to assure her comfort.
3.4. Diabetes & internal medicine
Diabetes is a common condition, in which a person's blood sugar levels become too high. There are two major variants: type 1 and type 2.
Type 1 is sometimes referred to as ‘insulin- dependent’ diabetes, as it is characterised by the body's inability to produce insulin.
5 Type 2 diabetes is the more common variant, characterised by what is known as insulin resistance, where the body does not effectively respond to the insulin produced. Type 1 generally involves daily injections of insulin, while type 2 can be managed by taking tablets maintaining a healthy lifestyle
3.5. Respiratory Diseases
Diseases and conditions of the respiratory system fall into two categories: Viruses such as influenza, bacterial pneumonia and the new enter virus respiratory virus that has been diagnosed in children; and chronic diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
COPD is the intersection of three related conditions — chronic bronchitis, chronic asthma and emphysema, Chaisson told Live Science. It is a progressive disease that makes it increasingly difficult for sufferers to breath.
