                              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:
