The Department of Rheumatology & Clinical Immunology at Baby Memorial Hospital provides comprehensive care for adults and children with autoimmune, inflammatory, and musculoskeletal disorders. The team specialises in diagnosing and managing conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), scleroderma, Sjögren’s syndrome, vasculitis, gout, osteoporosis, and other connective tissue diseases.

A multidisciplinary team of rheumatologists, pain specialists, physiotherapists, nurses, and paramedical staff delivers both inpatient and outpatient services. Facilities include day-care infusion services for immunosuppressive therapies, joint injections, personalised physiotherapy programs, and advanced laboratory testing. With imaging and diagnostic tools such as musculoskeletal ultrasonography, capillaroscopy, birefringent polarising microscopy, and fluoroscopy-guided procedures, the department focuses on early diagnosis, individualised treatment, and long-term disease management. Patient and caregiver education is emphasised to ensure active participation in care and improved health outcomes.
