Department of GENERAL MEDICINE

Life is a dynamic process. The even tenor of health conceals the continuous storm raging in every nook and corner of the body. The reason why disturbance is an essential part of the tranquility characterizing health is that the living body is like a running engine. The disturbances faced by the human body are enormous and it is a felt need of the health care delivery system to rectify and cater to the needs of the community. We at the Department of Medicine are not only committed to providing the best available patient care services but also to impart academic training and teaching to our students which is at par with the global standards.
