At Jeewan Hospital, we offer a wide range of services in General Medicine, Emergency Medicine, and Geriatrics, ensuring that patients of all ages get the treatment they require, from routine checks to emergency interventions and specialized care for the elderly. Our team is dedicated to providing high-quality, patient-centered treatment.

General Medicine:- General Medicine is the broad branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and non-surgical treatment of diseases in adults. It focuses on overall health, disease prevention, and management of both acute and chronic conditions.

Types of General Medicine Services:

• Primary Care Medicine: This is the first point of contact for patients with undiagnosed health concerns or routine health maintenance needs. It includes preventive care like vaccinations, health screenings, and management of common conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and respiratory illnesses.
• Chronic Disease Management: This service involves the long-term care and monitoring of chronic illnesses, such as diabetes, heart disease, and arthritis. The goal is to prevent complications and manage symptoms to improve patients’ quality of life.
• Preventive Medicine: Focuses on preventing diseases before they occur through health screenings, immunizations, lifestyle counseling, and early intervention strategies.
• Infectious Disease Management: Involves diagnosing and treating diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, such as pneumonia, influenza, tuberculosis, and emerging infectious diseases.
• Preoperative Care: General medicine physicians perform preoperative assessments to ensure that patients are in good health before undergoing surgery. This includes evaluating cardiovascular health, lung function, and any other conditions that may affect surgery or anesthesia.

Emergency Medicine:-Emergency Medicine focuses on providing immediate care for patients with acute medical conditions, injuries, or trauma that require urgent attention. It deals with life-threatening situations and stabilizing patients.

Types of Emergency Medicine Services:

• Trauma Care: Treating patients who have experienced physical trauma due to accidents, falls, or violence. Trauma teams stabilize injuries like fractures, head injuries, and internal bleeding.
• Cardiac Emergencies: Involves the rapid treatment of heart-related emergencies such as heart attacks, arrhythmias, and cardiac arrest. Emergency medicine physicians use techniques like CPR, defibrillation, and emergency medications to stabilize heart function.
• Neurological Emergencies: This includes managing conditions such as strokes, seizures, and traumatic brain injuries. Early interventions in stroke patients, for example, can reduce the risk of permanent damage.
• Respiratory Emergencies: Rapid intervention for conditions like acute asthma attacks, severe pneumonia, and pulmonary embolism to ensure the airway is open and breathing is restored.
• Pediatric Emergency Care: Specialized care for infants and children presenting with emergencies like high fevers, respiratory distress, infections, or injuries.
• Poisoning and Toxicology: Management of drug overdoses, poisoning, and toxic exposures, including the administration of antidotes and other critical care measures.
• Critical Care Transport: This involves the pre-hospital care and transportation of critically ill or injured patients from the scene of an emergency or another facility to the hospital, ensuring they receive medical attention during transit.

Geriatrics:- Geriatrics is the branch of medicine that focuses on the health and well-being of older adults. It addresses age-related conditions and emphasizes improving the quality of life and maintaining independence for elderly patients.

Types of Geriatrics Services:

• Chronic Disease Management in the Elderly: Elderly patients often have multiple chronic conditions (such as diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, or heart disease) that need careful, coordinated management. Geriatricians tailor treatment to balance different medications and minimize side effects.
• Cognitive Health: Specializes in diagnosing and treating conditions such as dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and mild cognitive impairment. This includes managing memory loss and providing support to caregivers.
• Mobility and Fall Prevention: As falls are a major risk for older adults, geriatricians assess balance, strength, and other factors to reduce the risk of falls and maintain mobility through physical therapy and exercise programs.
• Palliative and End-of-Life Care: Focuses on managing pain and other distressing symptoms in terminally ill patients. Geriatricians work to provide comfort and dignity to patients in their final stages of life, coordinating with palliative care teams.
• Polypharmacy Management: Older adults are often prescribed multiple medications, leading to potential drug interactions and side effects. Geriatricians review and adjust medications to ensure they are necessary, effective, and safe.
• Bone Health and Osteoporosis: Diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis, a common condition in older adults that weakens bones and increases fracture risk. This includes medications, lifestyle changes, and physical therapy to strengthen bones.
• Mental Health and Emotional Well-being: Mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety are common in older adults, especially those facing loneliness, chronic illness, or the loss of loved ones. Geriatricians provide support, counseling, and medications when necessary.
• Nutritional Support: Elderly patients may suffer from malnutrition, loss of appetite, or difficulty swallowing. Geriatricians provide dietary advice and treatment to ensure they receive adequate nutrition.
