Acute & Chronic Diseases

It can be challenging to face illness - whether it's the sniffles, a broken bone, or a more serious disease. At our practice, you don't have to face it alone.

We provide specialised care for handling a wide range of acute and chronic diseases, empowering you with the essential support and expertise to navigate your health and wellness journey.

What's the difference between acute and chronic diseases?

• Acute diseases occur suddenly and last a short time, often due to an infection, virus, or injury.
• Chronic diseases, on the other hand, develop gradually, persist over time, and often stem from lifestyle choices such as insufficient exercise, poor nutrition, excessive alcohol use, and smoking. Ageing also increases the risk of developing chronic diseases.

What are acute diseases, and how are they treated?

Acute diseases are only around for a short while. Our medical care encompasses the treatment of diseases like:

• · Injuries
• · Colds, flu and fevers
• · Bronchitis
• · Burns
• · Pneumonia
• · Heart attacks

We provide speedy attention when it comes to any acute illness you may be facing. Whether you have a runny tummy or are enduring a cold, we strive to provide you with the best medical treatment specialised for you.

What are chronic diseases and how are they managed?

Unfortunately, chronic diseases are for life. But with extra care and maintenance, you can live a full life and thrive. Some examples of chronic diseases we specialise in managing include:

• · Asthma
• · Diabetes
• · Hypertension
• · Thyroid dysfunction
• · Mental health
• · Epilepsy

After an accurate diagnosis, we customise an individualised treatment plan consisting of medications, lifestyle changes, and, if necessary, coordinated referrals to specialists.
