General Medicine at AKH

Comprehensive Medical Care

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.

Evaluation of common health concerns

A careful consultation to understand your symptoms and what may be behind them.

Clear medical guidance

Practical advice on what to do next, what to watch for and when to come back.

Coordinated specialist care

When further evaluation is needed, the referral is arranged within AKH wherever possible.

When Should You See a General Physician?

A general physician is the right first step for most everyday health concerns. Here is a simple guide.

A general physician consultation may be appropriate when

  • A fever, cough or infection is not settling on its own
  • You have a new symptom and are not sure what it means
  • Your blood sugar or blood pressure needs a review
  • An ongoing condition needs regular follow-up
  • You would like a general check of your health

Further specialist evaluation may be recommended when

  • Symptoms point to a particular organ or system
  • A condition needs specialised tests or procedures
  • A problem continues despite initial care
  • Your physician feels a specialist opinion would help

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.

Why AKH?

A general physician consultation at AKH comes with something a standalone clinic cannot offer: the rest of the hospital, when you need it.

Other specialties under one roof

Eye Care, Sleep Care and other departments are in the same building, so a referral does not mean starting again elsewhere.

Care that stays connected

When needed, your general physician can coordinate with the hospital's other doctors.

Inpatient care when required

AKH is a 20-bed hospital with both inpatient and outpatient care.

A hospital that knows its neighbourhood

Serving families in Alwarthirunagar and Virugambakkam since 2001.
