GENERAL MEDICINE

Services

The Department of General Medicine in VHS was established by the founder, Dr. K.S.Sanjivi, himself. Since the inception of this hospital, the Department of General Medicine has been the cornerstone for all the branching departments and handled steadily by eminent physicians over the years.

A routine day begins with the OP Department starting its work at 8 a.m. strengthened by the visits of senior specialists on fixed days in a week. Casualty Services are available round the clock through an Emergency and Trauma Care Department which was inaugurated during the year. The Day Care Centre provides prompt and brief hospital services such as dehydration correction, nebulisation for acute respiratory distress of the patients etc.

The in-patient wards are adequately cross-ventilated and ward arrangement is well spread out in the infrastructure of the hospital layout. The access to any investigatory modality, such as radiology, ultrasonography, etc., is available freely, resulting in fruitful interaction between the departments to the advantage of the patients.

We have backup of teams of specialists in various other allied departments of general medicine and the consultants of the respective departments frequently visit and give their expertise at the patient’s bedside. We practise thorough exchange of knowledge to the benefit of the patients by holding review sessions.
