Internal Medicine

Internal Medicine provides comprehensive primary care services in an outpatient setting along with providing complete care to hospitalized patients suffering from a broad range of ailments. The department is well equipped with the latest technologies to manage acute and chronic health conditions such as diabetes and coronary disease, acute illness like respiratory tract infections, and joint pains. It deals with diseases such as respiratory infections, hypertension, diabetes, cholesterol, liver problems and much more. 

The procedure of internal treatment, often referred to as general internal medicine, involves several key steps to provide comprehensive healthcare to adults. Here's an outline of the process:

• Initial Assessment: The process begins with a thorough initial assessment, which includes a detailed medical history, physical examination, and a discussion of the patient's current health concerns and symptoms.
  
  

• Diagnosis: Based on the assessment, the internist works to diagnose the patient's condition. This often involves ordering and interpreting diagnostic tests, such as blood work, imaging, or biopsies, to pinpoint the underlying cause of the health issue.
  
  

• Treatment Planning: Once a diagnosis is established, the internist formulates an individualized treatment plan. This may involve medication, lifestyle changes, and other therapeutic interventions, which are discussed with the patient.
  
  

• Monitoring and Follow-Up: Patients are regularly scheduled for follow-up appointments to monitor their progress. During these visits, the internist may make adjustments to the treatment plan as needed based on the patient's response and any changes in their health status.
  
  

• Preventive Care: Internists prioritize preventive care, which includes vaccination schedules, screenings, and health counseling to detect and mitigate potential health risks early.
  
  

• Referrals and Coordination: If specialized care or procedures are required, internists can refer patients to appropriate specialists, ensuring seamless coordination between different healthcare providers. They often play a central role in overseeing the patient's overall care.
