Medical professionals assess the patient’s overall health to develop treatment plans tailored to their ENT and systemic needs.

✅ Medical Management of ENT Disorders

The Medical Management of Ear, Nose, and Throat Disorders is one of the primary focuses. This includes treating conditions such as sinusitis, otitis media, pharyngitis, laryngitis, and other inflammatory conditions affecting the ENT region.

Medical professionals in this department manage allergic rhinitis and other allergic disorders through a combination of allergy testing, medications, and lifestyle modifications.
Specialized care for patients with nasal allergies, sinus issues, and environmental triggers is available to improve the patients’ respiratory health.

✅ Preoperative Evaluation

Prior to any ENT surgeries or interventions, the Medicine Department conducts a preoperative assessment, which includes evaluating the patient’s general health status, lab tests, and necessary medical clearance.
This ensures the patient's readiness for surgery and minimizes any risks associated with surgery under general anesthesia.

The department provides medical care for patients with endocrine disorders, including those with hypothyroidism, diabetes, or metabolic issues, which can impact ENT health, especially in relation to throat conditions, voice issues, and sinus problems.

The Medicine Department is staffed by a team of skilled internists, general physicians, cardiologists, pulmonologists, and endocrinologists, who collaborate with ENT specialists to provide integrated care. This multidisciplinary approach ensures that both the systemic health of patients and their ENT concerns are comprehensively addressed.

Goal of the Medicine Department

The Medicine Department aims to provide holistic, patient-centered care, addressing both general health issues and specific ENT-related conditions. By focusing on chronic disease management and the medical treatment of ENT disorders, the department ensures that patients receive the best possible care for optimal health outcomes.
