INTERNAL MEDICINE
Whole-picture care for adults — managing long-term conditions like diabetes and blood pressure, treating acute illness, and getting your medications right.
One doctor, seeing the whole picture
Internal medicine is comprehensive adult care, with a strong focus on long-term disease management, preventing complications, and quality of life.
Internal medicine physicians manage both chronic conditions and acute illness — and, importantly, they act as the central coordinator for patients juggling several conditions at once, keeping every treatment balanced and safe across the whole body. At Putra Medical Centre they run structured monitoring programmes, fine-tune medications, treat infections and respiratory illness, and look after medically complex patients on the ward.
What we help with
Not sure which specialist you need? That's exactly what internal medicine is for.
Diabetes, blood pressure or cholesterol
Long-term conditions kept under control.
Juggling several conditions at once
One doctor to coordinate them all.
Too many medications, or side effects
A proper review of the whole list.
Flu, COVID or a chest infection
Treated before it gets worse.
A cough or breathing that won't clear
Chronic and post-infection lung conditions.
Feeling unwell with no clear cause
A thorough look for what's underneath.
A long-term condition needing monitoring
Steady, structured follow-up.
What we can do about it
Our internal medicine care falls into five areas. Pick the one that matches your situation.
The long-term conditions that need watching for years, not weeks.
What this includes
- Diabetes mellitus
- Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- High cholesterol
- Heart failure (medical management)
- Chronic kidney disease
- Chronic respiratory disease
- Metabolic syndrome
Prevents stroke and heart attack, protects kidney and vision function, reduces hospital admissions, and keeps older patients independent.
The infections and flare-ups that need treating before they turn into something serious.
What this includes
- Influenza and viral respiratory infections
- COVID-19 and post-viral complications
- Acute bronchitis and pneumonia
- Asthma exacerbations
- Urinary tract infections, including in elderly patients
- Sepsis and severe infections
Early treatment prevents complications, respiratory failure and ICU admission.
Breathing that doesn't come easily, and the long-term lung conditions behind it.
What this includes
- Chronic bronchitis
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
- Geriatric respiratory illness
- Post-infection lung conditions
- Inhaler therapy optimisation
Better breathing capacity and easier daily functioning.
Slowing things down when an organ is starting to struggle, and knowing when to call in a specialist.
What this includes
- Early-stage heart failure
- Chronic kidney disease
- Liver dysfunction
- Multi-organ complications of chronic disease
Slows disease progression, stabilises organ function, and coordinates referral when advanced care is needed.
Treating stubborn infections properly — and not reaching for antibiotics when they won't help.
What this includes
- MRSA and resistant infections
- Community-acquired infections
- Hospital-acquired infections
- Rational antibiotic prescribing
Better treatment success, and less antimicrobial resistance for everyone.
Several conditions, one long list of medications? That's exactly what we're for.
As we get older it's common to be managing a few conditions at once and taking many medicines — and the interactions between them matter. An internal medicine physician reviews the whole picture together, trims side effects and dangerous interactions, and keeps every treatment pulling in the same direction.
