The General Medicine department at Rattan Hospital serves as the cornerstone of patient care, providing a broad range of medical services for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of various non-surgical health conditions. This department focuses on comprehensive healthcare, addressing both acute and chronic illnesses to ensure the overall well-being of patients.

Key aspects of the General Medicine department include:

1. Primary Care : General Medicine doctors serve as the first point of contact for patients with health concerns. They perform physical examinations, assess symptoms, and provide timely diagnosis and treatment for common illnesses such as colds, infections, flu, and more.

2. Management of Chronic Diseases : Chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, asthma, and heart disease require ongoing care. The General Medicine team monitors these conditions closely, provides appropriate medication management, and offers lifestyle advice to prevent complications and improve quality of life.

3. Preventive Care and Health Screenings : Prevention is a key part of general medicine. Regular check-ups, vaccinations, and health screenings (like blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes tests) are emphasized to detect health issues early and reduce the risk of developing more serious conditions.

4. Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute Conditions : The department handles a variety of acute medical conditions, from respiratory infections to digestive disorders. General medicine doctors perform the initial assessment, recommend appropriate treatments, and refer patients to specialists if necessary for more advanced care.

5. Comprehensive Patient Care : Beyond treating specific ailments, the General Medicine department takes a holistic approach to patient care. This includes addressing lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, mental health, and stress management, helping patients maintain a healthy and balanced life.

6. Coordination with Specialists : In cases where specialized treatment is needed, the General Medicine department coordinates with other departments such as Cardiology, Gastroenterology, or Orthopaedics. This ensures that patients receive seamless, well-coordinated care, no matter the complexity of their condition.
