Specialities
Departments and specialities at SIMS Anantapur
More than two dozen specialities on one campus, so that a diagnosis made in the outpatient clinic can be treated in the same building — without a referral letter and a four-hour drive.
How to use this page
Start with the symptom, not the speciality
If you already know which department you need, choose it below. If you do not — which is normal — book with General Medicine or come to the emergency department, and you will be routed to the right consultant after an examination. Every speciality page lists the conditions treated, the procedures offered, the warning signs that must not wait, and the consultants on that roster.
Centres of Excellence
Where diagnosis, intervention and intensive care sit under one roof
These are the conditions that most often force families in this district onto a highway at night — heart attack, stroke, major trauma, critical illness and complex digestive disease. Each centre keeps assessment, intervention, intensive care and follow-up on the same campus.
Emergency Medicine
Resuscitation, triage and time-critical care, every hour of the day.
Critical Care
Intensivist-led intensive care with continuous monitoring and ventilator support.
Cardiology
Chest pain evaluation, angiogram, angioplasty and long-term heart care.
Neurology
Stroke, epilepsy, headache and nerve disorders assessed with urgency.
Orthopaedics
Fracture care, joint replacement, arthroscopy and spine treatment.
Medical Gastroenterology
Endoscopic diagnosis and treatment for digestive and liver disease.
Medical specialities
Long-term conditions managed by physicians who know the history
Diabetes, blood pressure, kidney disease, chest disease, skin conditions and mental health. Chronic illness needs continuity more than it needs equipment, so these departments run regular review clinics alongside inpatient care.
General Medicine
The first stop for fever, diabetes, blood pressure and unexplained symptoms.
Nephrology
Chronic kidney disease management, dialysis support and transplant workup.
Pulmonology
Asthma, COPD, tuberculosis, pneumonia and sleep-related breathing care.
Dermatology
Skin, hair and nail conditions for all ages.
Psychiatry
Confidential assessment and treatment for mental health conditions.
Surgical specialities
Planned and emergency surgery in modular theatres
Operations are performed in modular laminar-flow theatres, with anaesthesia and intensive care available in the same building. Laparoscopic and endoscopic techniques are used wherever they shorten recovery.
Neurosurgery
Surgical care for head injury, spine disease and brain conditions.
Surgical Gastroenterology
Laparoscopic and open surgery for the digestive tract, liver and pancreas.
General Surgery
Routine and emergency surgery with laparoscopic techniques where suitable.
Urology
Kidney stones, prostate care and endoscopic urological surgery.
Surgical Oncology
Cancer diagnosis, staging and surgical treatment with a coordinated plan.
Plastic Surgery
Reconstruction after trauma and burns, plus hand and wound surgery.
ENT
Hearing, sinus, throat and airway care for adults and children.
Ophthalmology
Cataract surgery, diabetic eye screening and refractive assessment.
Women & child
Maternity, newborn and child health with intensive care backup
Pregnancy care, safe delivery, laparoscopic gynaecology, newborn intensive care and paediatrics — with a neonatal unit and a paediatric intensive care unit for the babies and children who need them.
Diagnostics & support
The services every other department depends on
Imaging, laboratory, anaesthesia and physiotherapy are not add-ons. They decide how quickly a diagnosis is confirmed, how safely an operation is conducted, and how completely a patient recovers afterwards.
Anaesthesiology
Pre-operative assessment, safe anaesthesia and pain management.
Radiology
CT, ultrasound, digital X-ray and Doppler with same-day reporting.
Pathology
Round-the-clock biochemistry, haematology, microbiology and histopathology.
Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation
Recovery of movement, strength and independence after illness or surgery.
A to Z
All specialities, alphabetically
