General Medicine

Process of Maintaining

Medicine as a practice is the process of maintaining or restoring a patient’s health through diagnosis and treatment. As this category is intentionally broad, the word general is applied before it when classifying any type of adult patient care. General internal medicine is a slightly narrower field because there is more of a focus on the body’s organs.

A general medicine practice in our Hospital normally consists of a consultant, registrar and duty doctors. The consultant is the specialist, or the general medicine physician. The registrar is a doctor in training to become a specialist, and the duty doctor is a qualified doctor in training.

The General Medicine Department provides a comprehensive service in clinical medicine and is committed to develop sub-specialty services in surrounding areas to meet the needs of patients in its own serving communities.

The Department of Medicine has close links with surrounding primary and secondary care providers. pioneer Hospital provides comprehensive Rheumatology, Neurology, nephrology, and other specialities too.
