General Medicine
The Department of General Medicine deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and non-surgical treatment of various diseases. It serves as the first point of contact whenever a patient visits the hospital. A general physician conducts a physical examination of the patient and then recommends necessary tests and diagnostic procedures. The results of these tests, the general physical examination, and symptoms are then correlated to arrive at a final diagnosis. Depending on the final diagnosis, the general physician gives the necessary treatment (usually medication) to the patient or refers to a specialty department for further treatment. The department is favored by a multitude of people owing to its convenience as a one-stop solution, combined with talented specialists, modern diagnostic services, and a 24-hour pharmacy.
