Overview
The Department of Rheumatology at Sir Ganga Ram City Hospital is a center of excellence dedicated to the diagnosis and management of autoimmune diseases and musculoskeletal disorders. We recognize that conditions affecting the joints, muscles, and bones often come with chronic pain and systemic challenges that require a deeply empathetic and highly specialized approach.
Our department focuses on treating complex conditions such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), Ankylosing Spondylitis, Gout, and Osteoarthritis. Our philosophy is rooted in early intervention and precision medicine—aiming not just to treat symptoms, but to achieve long-term remission and prevent joint damage, ensuring our patients lead active, fulfilling lives.
