Doctors at our Department of Internal Medicine focus on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of adult illnesses. We manage both infectious diseases, which remain common in our region, and non-communicable diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, which are rising steadily. Our department is led by skilled and compassionate physicians trained at some of the most respected academic medical centres. With access to modern investigations, imaging, laboratory diagnostics, and critical care support, we are equipped to manage routine illnesses as well as complex, multi-system conditions.

Conditions We Treat

1. Peptic Ulcer Disease

Peptic ulcers commonly cause burning upper abdominal pain, bloating, or vomiting. In our setting, many cases are linked to Helicobacter pylori infection or painkiller use. Early treatment prevents bleeding and serious complications.

2. Colon Cancer

Colon cancer often presents late due to subtle early symptoms. Warning signs include blood in stool, unexplained anemia, or weight loss. We emphasize timely screening, proper investigations, and coordinated referral for specialist care.

3. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Irritable Bowel Syndrome causes recurrent abdominal discomfort, bloating, constipation, or diarrhea. Though not life-threatening, it affects daily living. We focus on dietary guidance, stress management, and individualized treatment plans for symptom control.

4. Infectious Diseases

This includes diseases such as malaria, dengue, typhoid, tuberculosis, and severe bacterial infections. We offer early diagnosis, care, and hospitalization if required to prevent complications such as organ failure in severe cases.

5. HIV and AIDS-Related Conditions

Unfortunately, HIV continues to affect many families in this region. Our team provides comprehensive care, including diagnosis, staging, antiretroviral therapy monitoring, management of opportunistic infections, and long-term follow-up. Our team is committed to delivering confidential and safe healthcare at all times.

6. Preventive Health Check-up and Tests

Our team encourages preventive healthcare screenings, which include cholesterol screening, blood pressure monitoring, diabetes screening, and age-appropriate cancer screenings for all adults.
