 Hello, I'm Dr. Ranjit Mohan of the Department of Internal Medicine and Infectious Diseases at Manipal Hospital, H.C.A. of the Airport Road, Bangalore. In the middle of the COVID pandemic, do not let panic make you forget to seek medical attention for your long-standing illnesses and do not neglect to have your regular medical check-ups. Our department has been most proactive in providing video consultations and unwavering medical support to all our patients and the regular management of their diabetes, hypertension, cardiac diseases, infections, among others, right from the beginning of the worldwide pandemic. But actual face-to-face physical consultations are also occasionally required, even in the middle of the pandemic. You need not have any apprehensions regarding this because in Manipal Hospital, a separate outpatient, ward and consultation areas have been provided for COVID cases. There are even separate entries and exits in the interests of safety. Our OPDs, IPDs and surgeries have been continuously functioning and with proper risk stratification in place to ensure safety. Hence, we recommend that you consider visiting us at the earliest for our check-ups and further management of your chronic diseases. Visit our website to book appointments or call our helpline phone number for any further assistance.
