The Department of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology at AIMS is unique in many ways. It is the only academic rheumatology department in whole of Kerala and the only centre in South India where qualified adult and paediatric rheumatologists work together to provide comprehensive, state of the art care to all arthritis and autoimmune diseases.

We undertake both routine and specialised laboratory investigations required to diagnose and treat all common and unusual rheumatological conditions. Our orthopaedic team helps the patients with arthroscopies and joint replacements as and when required. Excellent ancillary support with full-fledged physiotherapy and occupational therapy departments make the care for arthritis patients complete.
