General Internal Medicine
General Internal Medicine is a broad and essential branch of medicine that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and management of adult diseases. A Consultant Physician in Internal Medicine serves as a primary point of care for adults dealing with a wide range of health issues—from acute illnesses like infections and fevers to chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disorders, and respiratory diseases.
These physicians are trained to evaluate complex symptoms, manage multiple health conditions simultaneously, and coordinate with specialists when needed. Their comprehensive and holistic approach ensures that patients receive accurate diagnoses, effective treatment plans, and continuous health monitoring to maintain long-term wellness.
