Scope of an General Medicine Doctor
General Medicine, also known as Internal Medicine, is a broad specialty focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and non-surgical treatment of adult diseases. At RR Hospitals, our general medicine doctors are trained to manage a vast range of conditions affecting different organ systems.
We manage:

The General Medicine department also plays a key role in early detection of lifestyle diseases, helping patients take preventive action before conditions become severe or irreversible.
