Patient Education & Counseling

Patient Education and Counseling is a vital part of Internal Medicine, aimed at empowering patients with the knowledge and guidance they need to understand their health conditions, treatment options, and lifestyle modifications. A Consultant Physician not only diagnoses and treats medical conditions but also ensures that patients and their families are well-informed about disease management, medication adherence, preventive care, and health monitoring.

Through one-on-one counseling sessions, discussions, and educational material, patients are encouraged to take an active role in their healthcare journey, which leads to better outcomes and improved quality of life.
