What we provide
More than a consultation
Patients with rheumatological and immune-related problems often need evaluation, laboratory support, medicines, physiotherapy, pain management and follow-up. DIRA brings these together.
Specialist Consultation
Evaluation for established, suspected and complex rheumatological or immune-related conditions.
Second Opinions
A fresh specialist assessment where a diagnosis or treatment plan needs clarifying.
Immunology & Allergy
Establishing whether the immune system is actually responsible for the symptoms.
Rheumatology Care
Inflammatory and autoimmune disease affecting joints, muscles, skin, spine and organs.
Chronic Pain
The cause of pain is assessed before treatment is chosen — inflammatory, mechanical or nerve-related.
Physiotherapy & Rehab
Structured rehabilitation integrated with medical management.
Laboratory Support
Testing when the clinical question requires it — not simply because a test is available.
Pharmacy Support
Access to prescribed medications, improving continuity of care.
