Have you ever wanted a single place to address all your family’s health issues? At KIMSHEALTH, Trivandrum family medicine care teams focus on giving complete and organised care to everyone in the family—from newborns to the elderly.

What is a Family Physician?

Family doctors focus on treating you as an entire individual. Unlike specialists who focus on one disease or body part, family physicians are trained to meet your health needs regardless of your gender or age. Family medicine is built on a personal and ongoing relationship between you and your physician. Together, we aim to reach the best possible health results while managing costs. Besides treating and diagnosing both chronic and short-term illnesses, your family doctor helps with regular health check-ups and advises you on ways to avoid getting sick in the first place. If you ever need help from a specialist for a specific health issue, the KIMSHEALTH, Trivandrum Family Medicine team supports you by managing your care and ensuring everything runs smoothly. They help you navigate the complicated health system if you need to see multiple specialists.

Family doctors are trained to care for people at every stage of life, from babies to seniors, and they are skilled in several important medical fields, including:

• Ongoing issues like diabetes, asthma, or heart problems.
• Sudden troubles such as breathing infections, chest or belly pain, and headaches.
• Health checks to screen chronic diseases, give vaccines, and offer tips to eat right and exercise to stay well.
• Care for problems related to ears, noses, and throats
• Small surgical treatments
• Help with bone and joint troubles
• Treatment for skin problems
• Services focused on women’s health, family planning, and reproductive guidance.

What makes KIMSHEALTH, Trivandrum Institute of Family Medicine the right choice?

Our family doctors show expertise with a patient-centered clinical method. They combine thoughtful care with effective actions to diagnose health problems. They understand how people experience sickness, including their thoughts, emotions, and hopes. They also recognise how being unwell affects different parts of a person’s life.

Using knowledge about human growth and family systems, our family doctors create a thorough plan to manage illnesses. They focus on helping patients and their families in a well-rounded way. Our family doctors work closely with patients to agree on the issues at hand, the treatment goals, and the roles each person plays in managing care. They explain things in a clear way that respects a patient’s freedom to make choices, helping them take control of their health and make smart decisions for themselves.

Family doctors know a lot about typical health problems people face in the community and also about rare medical emergencies that can be serious. They base their care on the strongest scientific research available to ensure patients get the best possible outcomes.
