Your Care, Our Focus

At Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City (SSMC), we specialise in a wide range of conditions affecting men’s health, including some of the most prevalent, such as prostate cancer, mental health, colorectal and gastrointestinal (GI) health, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Specialised Conditions

Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, developing in the small gland that produces seminal fluid. It often grows silently, with few symptoms in the early stages, making screening vital for early detection and successful treatment.

At SSMC, our expert urologists and oncologists use advanced diagnostic tools, robotic-assisted surgery, and personalised treatment plans to deliver precise, compassionate care that helps men protect their prostate health and live confidently.

Mental Health

Mental wellbeing is essential to overall health, yet many men find it difficult to talk about their feelings. Stress, anxiety, and depression are common but highly treatable with the right support.

At SSMC, our psychology and psychiatry specialists provide confidential, evidence-based care – from counselling and therapy to medication management – empowering men to strengthen their emotional resilience and restore balance in their lives.

Find Support

Colorectal Cancer / GI Health

In men, colorectal cancer often begins as harmless polyps in the colon or rectum that can turn cancerous over time. Because early disease usually presents no symptoms, men aged 40 and above are encouraged to undergo routine screening for better outcomes.

At SSMC, our multidisciplinary team of gastroenterologists, surgeons, and oncologists offers advanced screening and treatment, including AI-assisted colonoscopy and minimally invasive surgery, ensuring accurate diagnosis and life-saving care.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, causes chronic inflammation of the digestive tract that can lead to pain, fatigue and reduced quality of life.

At SSMC’s IBD Centre, patients receive comprehensive, personalised care from a multidisciplinary team of gastroenterologists, dietitians, and psychologists, supported by the latest therapies and lifestyle guidance to help men live well and manage their gut health effectively.
