Highland Hospital’s department of General Medicine which is the first point of contact for any patient, acts as a facilitating agency to direct patients to specialists or enlist their help wherever required. Employing advanced diagnostic methods, the severity and cause of a condition is ascertained before an individual is referred to a specialist, if required.

General medicine covers the treatment and management of a range of long-term illnesses such as diabetes and respiratory problems, but also shorter-term health problems such as skin conditions. Our General Medicine team is led by consultant doctors and nurses working alongside a team of physiotherapists, occupational therapists, dieticians and other professionals offering fully integrated care with a personalised touch. With core competencies in providing emergency care, excellent out patient care, acute care and long term care and palliative care, the department of General Medicine at Highland Hospital continues to lead the way in improving patient outcomes with leading-edge surgical care. Close coordination is maintained with the referring physician and appropriate specialty physicians in the pre-operative evaluation and post-operative management of the patient.
