GENERAL MEDICINE AND INTERNAL MEDICINE

The General Medicine Unit provides care to adult patients with a variety of general medical needs. We provide care to patients age 18 and older with a wide variety of illnesses and comorbidities. We also serve as the primary infectious disease unit.

General Physicians in our Hospital are highly trained specialists who provide a range of non-surgical health care to adult patients. They care for difficult, serious or unusual medical problems and continue to see the patient until these problems have resolved or stabilised.

A general doctor is considered as the family doctor as he provides healthcare treatment and assistance for generic medicines to each member of the family despite the age group. He specializes in general medicine and provides care to adults as well as kids. He is specialized to treat a wide range of general medical conditions. However, he may not be there for surgeries. They are qualified to handle cases related to health maintenance, disease prevention, and continuity of care to stabilize the life span of a patient. The general practice doctors here mainly respond to outpatient settings  through the following modes

•     Provides health education and counsels the patients
•     Acts as a primary care physician of the patient
•     Manages the complete patient’s health record
•     Carry out immunization schedule
•     Provides care for chronic disease
•     Recommends the right specialists to the patients

Internal medicine focuses not only on the scientific, laboratory approach to medicine but also carefully examines how all these systems work together and affect each other. This means that internal medicine physicians are experts at helping those who have chronic diseases or even more than one chronic disease.

 Internal medicine is a science that represents the best of both worlds. The speciality combines the analytical examination of laboratory science with a personalized, compassionate approach to adult medicine. This expertise enables doctors to treat both common illnesses and complex medical conditions. They also specialize in treating long-term chronic illnesses such as Type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Doctors who specialize in internal medicine are called internists or general internists. Internal medicine specialists also take a close look at how all the systems in the bodywork together as a whole because a problem in one area could cause complications in another.
