Focused Fever Care

It will assess patients with a range of acute and infectious conditions, including dengue, malaria, chikungunya, typhoid, influenza/H1N1, seasonal viral infections, prolonged or unexplained fever, bacterial infections and fever in immunocompromised patients.
As per the press release, the clinic will offer consultations, laboratory investigations such as CBC and rapid diagnostic tests, medication support, day-care and observation, emergency escalation, hospital admission referrals and structured follow-up under one roof.
Emphasis on Early Assessment
Speaking about the launch, Dr Rajesh Kumar Budhiraja, Senior Director, Internal Medicine, Fortis Escorts Hospital, Faridabad, said that timely assessment is particularly important during the monsoon and seasonal transition. He added that early identification of warning signs can help patients receive appropriate care when hospital management is required.
Meanwhile, Dr BN Singh, Director, Internal Medicine, said the clinic aims to make fever assessment and management more accessible while enabling appropriate investigations and medical guidance at the same point of care.
Dr Anurag Aggarwal, Senior Consultant, Internal Medicine, highlighted the importance of identifying patients who require closer observation or hospital care. Dr Abhishek Sharma, Facility Director, said the clinic brings consultation, investigations, observation, treatment support and follow-up together, helping patients access timely care without navigating multiple departments.
