Aditya Kamaraja Hospitals
Comprehensive medical care for you and your family. Our General Medicine department looks after common health concerns, ongoing health needs and general physician consultations, so that there is one trusted place to turn to when someone at home is unwell.
General Medicine at AKH
General Medicine is usually the first place to start when something does not feel right. Our general physician evaluates common health concerns, gives clear medical guidance you can follow at home, and keeps an eye on ongoing needs such as blood sugar and blood pressure. When a concern needs a specialist's attention, the next step is coordinated within the hospital, so your care continues without you having to start over.
A careful consultation to understand your symptoms and what may be behind them.
Practical advice on what to do next, what to watch for and when to come back.
When further evaluation is needed, the referral is arranged within AKH wherever possible.
What we help with
Everyday health problems that are best looked at by a doctor early, before they grow into something bigger.
Fever, cough, cold, sore throat and other common infections, evaluated so that the right care can be advised.
Consultation and regular follow-up for blood sugar concerns, with guidance on managing them day to day.
Evaluation and periodic review of blood pressure, with guidance on keeping it under control over time.
Indigestion, acidity, stomach discomfort and other general complaints that deserve a doctor's assessment.
Concerns linked to diet, weight, stress, sleep or physical activity, with practical guidance on healthier habits.
A consultation to review your overall health, talk through any worries and decide whether further evaluation is needed.
Your doctor

In that case, the general physician guides you to the right specialist, within AKH wherever possible.
In a medical emergency, please go to the nearest emergency service without delay.
General medicine within a multi-speciality hospital
A general physician consultation at AKH comes with something a standalone clinic cannot offer: the rest of the hospital, when you need it.
Eye Care, Sleep Care and other departments are in the same building, so a referral does not mean starting again elsewhere.
When needed, your general physician can coordinate with the hospital's other doctors.
AKH is a 20-bed hospital with both inpatient and outpatient care.
Serving families in Alwarthirunagar and Virugambakkam since 2001.
