Family and Internal Medicine are foundations on which all the medical super specialities are built. They are usually the first point of contact for patients, before being directed to super specialist (if needed) for further treatment. The Family and Internal Medicine Services at PIH form a link to all the other specialities in the hospital. The services are managed by a highly competent group of doctors including speciality consultants, general physicians and medical officers.
