Prof. Emeritus Dr. Brankica Krstevska

Prof. Emeritus Dr. Brankica Krstevska. I enrolled in the Faculty of Medicine and I was not wrong. I was advancing in the profession. I became a doctor, then a specialist internist, and then a subspecialist-endocrinologist. As a professor, I was given the opportunity to teach young doctors and to selflessly impart knowledge to them, as much as they wanted.
During my many years of professional work, I have acquired the skill of diagnosing and treating people with diseases in the field of endocrinology and diabetes.

My professional field of work is: thyroid disorders, adrenal disorders, endocrine tumors, polycystic ovary syndrome and other reproductive disorders in women, diabetes, pregnancy and diabetes and other endocrine disorders in pregnancy. I do it all with my heart and since 2015 I am a consultant in PHI “Internal Medicine Center SRCE”.
