From emergencies, common ailments to complicated unresolved diagnostic dilemmas the Department of Internal Medicine at Bangalore Baptist Hospital provides holistic care for in-patients and outpatients. We help prevent and diagnose common non-surgical ailments and serve as the first point of contact whenever you visit the hospital.
The Department of Internal Medicine is a strong pillar of the hospital as it works in coordination with other departments like Critical Care, Emergency Medicine, Endocrinology, Geriatrics, Rheumatology, Cardiology, Nephrology, Pulmonology, Neurology and Gastroenterology to provide complete care to all patients.
On your visit, a physician will conduct a physical examination and recommend the right medication or tests and diagnostic procedures, as necessary. Once we receive the test results, the physician will give you the final diagnosis and treatment or refer you to a speciality department for further treatment.
