Geriatric Medicine
What is geriatric medicine?
Geriatric medicine is a medical discipline in which geriatric doctors, or geriatricians, specialise in meeting the medical needs of the elders. They are dedicated exclusively to diagnosing and treating a wide array of diseases and illnesses that affect ageing adults.

With our expert team of geriatricians, every need and medical condition of the elderly people will be handled with the utmost care, to afford them the best possible quality of life.
