Internal Medicine — Comprehensive Adult Care
From routine check-ups to complex chronic disease management — diabetes, hypertension, thyroid, infections and more — handled by specialist physicians at A&B International Hospital.
Introduction
Internal medicine is the foundation of adult healthcare. Our consultant physicians manage a broad range of conditions — from common infections and digestive complaints to complex multi-system disorders like diabetes, heart failure and chronic kidney disease.
At A&B International Hospital, internal medicine sits at the centre of our specialist care. Our physicians coordinate directly with cardiology, neurology, gastroenterology and surgery so your full picture is handled under one roof — no chasing reports between clinics.

What Our Patients Say
“My diabetes was out of control for two years. After three months at A&B my HbA1c dropped from 11 to 7 — and they explained every step.”
“I had unexplained fatigue for months. The physician here ordered the right tests in one visit — turned out to be thyroid. I felt heard for the first time.”
“They picked up early kidney disease that two clinics had missed. I’m now on the right medication and my numbers are stable.”

Internal Medicine: The Coordinating Centre of Adult Care
Internal medicine is the discipline that sees the whole patient rather than a single organ. Adults rarely present with one isolated problem — diabetes travels with blood pressure and kidney risk; a chronic cough may be respiratory, cardiac or both. The value of a consultant physician is the ability to connect these threads, prioritise what matters, and avoid the fragmented, repetitive testing that happens when each symptom is chased in isolation.
At A&B International Hospital, internal medicine acts as your medical home. When a specialist opinion is needed, it is coordinated; when several conditions interact, they are managed together rather than separately.
Chronic Disease Management Done Properly
Conditions such as diabetes, hypertension and thyroid disease are not treated once — they are managed over years. Done properly this means structured review, complication screening (eyes, kidneys, feet, cardiovascular risk), medication adjustment as the condition evolves, and patient education so you understand your own numbers. Most serious complications of chronic disease are not inevitable; they are the result of conditions left under-monitored.
When to See a Physician — Warning Signs Not to Ignore
Book a consultation for unexplained weight loss, persistent fever, chronic fatigue, breathlessness on usual activity, recurrent infections, or any chronic symptom lasting more than a couple of weeks. These are not always serious, but they are worth a proper assessment rather than repeated guesswork at the pharmacy counter.
Investigations, Costs and Insurance
Our in-house laboratory, ECG, X-ray and ultrasound mean most investigations are completed and reported the same day, avoiding multiple trips. Consultation and laboratory package rates are published transparently, and we work with most major Nepali insurers and process claims in-house. Bring any previous reports so tests are not needlessly repeated.
Preparing for Your Appointment
Bring a list of all current medications (or the boxes), any previous investigations, and a brief note of your main concerns and when they started. For suspected diabetes or lipid assessment, ask in advance whether fasting is required. The more accurate the history, the faster and more accurate the diagnosis.
Frequently Asked Questions

No. You can book an internal medicine consultation directly. Bring previous reports if you have them.
How long is a first consultation?
Usually 30–45 minutes, covering full history, examination and ordering any required investigations — most lab results return the same day.
Can you manage several conditions together?
Yes — that is the core strength of internal medicine. We manage interacting conditions as one coordinated plan rather than separately.
Do you handle admissions?
Yes. The hospital has 24-hour cover and inpatient beds for medical admissions such as severe infection or uncontrolled diabetes.
Will you coordinate with my surgeon or cardiologist?
Yes. Internal medicine acts as your medical home and keeps specialist care joined up.

Understanding Chronic Disease: A Patient’s Guide
The conditions internal medicine manages most often — diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disorder, high cholesterol — share one feature: they are usually silent until they cause damage. Blood pressure does not hurt; high blood sugar produces few early symptoms; an underactive thyroid is easily mistaken for ordinary tiredness. This is precisely why structured medical review matters. The purpose of regular consultation is not to react to a crisis but to detect drift early, while it is still cheap and easy to correct.
Understanding your own numbers is part of treatment. We explain what your blood pressure target is and why, what your HbA1c means for long-term risk, and which symptoms should bring you back sooner rather than later. A patient who understands their condition manages it far better than one who simply collects prescriptions.
Prevention and Lifestyle — What Actually Works
Medication is one part of chronic disease control; daily habits are the other. Sustainable changes — consistent sleep, reduced salt and refined sugar, regular walking, smoking cessation, and moderation of alcohol — measurably improve outcomes and sometimes reduce medication needs. We give realistic, culturally appropriate advice for life in Pokhara rather than generic lists, and we revisit it at each review because small, maintained changes outperform short, drastic ones.
Preparing for Your Visit and What It Costs
Bring all current medicines (or photographs of the boxes), previous laboratory reports, and a brief note of your main concerns with dates. If diabetes or cholesterol assessment is likely, ask whether fasting is needed when you book. Consultation and laboratory package prices are published openly, most investigations are completed in-house the same day, and we process most major insurance claims directly — ask our front desk to confirm your coverage before tests are run.
Further Questions
How often should I have a health check if I feel well?
Adults over 30, or anyone with family history of diabetes or heart disease, benefit from an annual review even without symptoms — most chronic disease is silent in its early, most treatable stage.
Can medication ever be reduced?
Sometimes. With sustained lifestyle change, some patients reduce doses under supervision. Never stop or reduce medication without review.
Do you provide a written plan?
Yes — every consultation ends with a written diagnosis, plan and clear follow-up timing.
