Allopathy (Western medicine)
Allopathic care at the Clinic distinguishes itself in its attention to the development of treatment protocols for specific symptom complexes, weeding out unnecessary and harmful drugs and including Ayurveda and Yoga in the overall treatment regime.
Allopathic care is provided through three different units:
General medicine
Here, a detailed exposure history, history of illness and other significant information of the person is recorded. The person is physically and clinically examined and appropriate advice for treatment is offered. All clinical data is recorded in the person’s individual folder and subsequently computerised.
Gynaecological care
The Dominique Lapierre City of Joy Sambhavna Gynaecology Unit is the only facility in Bhopal that provides regular cervical screening, examination and treatment to survivors of the disaster. State of the art facilities such as colposcopy and LLETZ are available only at Sambhavna. Two gynaecologists and a health assistant run the unit. Community health work focussing on gynaecological health issues is carried out by several healthworkers.
Mental healthcare
Healthcare for such symptoms as panic attacks, insomnia or disturbed sleep, anxiety, depression, irritability and impaired memory is provided by a psychiatrist.
