There are 5 recognised units in the Department of Medicine, namely - Intensive Care, Nephrology, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology and Hemato-oncology Units. Intensive Care Unit The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) was started as a 4 bed unit in the Department of Medicine in 1984 with electrocardiographic monitoring and recording facilities limited to one room only. With the increasing need of critical care medicine the modern intensive care unit (ICU) with 10 beds was established as separate wing in 1985. The unit was equipped with ventilators, defibrillators and pacemakers along with electrocardiographic monitoring. Color Doppler Echocardiography lab, State Biochemistry Lab and treadmill stress testing lab and facility for external pacemaker were added later. The State Biochemistry Lab provides routine blood testing, platelet aggregation studies (for research purposes), coagulation studies and osmolality. The unit caters to patients from the entire state of Uttar Pradesh.

Endocrinology Unit

The Endocrinology Unit was started in 1972 and further extended in 1977. In 1987 the unit was expanded with a goiter unit.The unit provides services in different villages by organizing camps. Various hormonal tests are being done. Besides, tests like lipid profile, gylcosylated hemoglobins, blood sugar, creatinine, calcium, phosphorus etc. are also being done. This unit also conducts a Diabetes Clinic every Tuesday and Thursday, Infertility Clinic every Friday and Camps are also organised - 14 such camps were conducted in 2002-2003. Annual attendance is about 10,000 patients.

Nephrology Unit

The Nephrology Unit started functioning in 1977 in a modest way with only 1 hemodialysis machine. Dialysis was done with the parallel plate Keil board (which is now of historical importance only). The present Nephrology unit is housed in a new building on the first floor and is equipped with 5 hemodialysis machines, peritoneal dialysis machine, facilities for electrolyte estimation and water treatment for dialysis purpose with reverse osmosis plant. It is one of the first dialysis units in the state of Uttar Pradesh and currently has an output of 5 to 6 hemodialysis and 1 to 2 peritoneal dialysis per day. Besides these, it provides care for patients of kidney diseases including investigative procedures like renal biopsies etc. The unit imparts teaching and training to undergraduate and postgraduate students and provides research facilities to postgraduates in nephrology. The dialysis facility has been recently upgraded with 5 new hemodialysis machines.

Gastroenterology Unit

The Unit of Gastroenterology was established in 1986. The various procedures undertaken in the unit include: gastroduodenoscopy, colonoscopy, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, esophageal dilatation, foreign body removal, esophageal prosthesis placement, endoscopic polypectomy, endoscopic sphincterotomy, injection sclerotherapy, common bile duct (CBD) stone removal, mechanical lithotripsy, CBD stenting, intestinal biopsies, ultrasound and ultrasound guided procedures. The unit is actively engaged in research and in training of resident doctors from the Provincial Medical Services. It is equipped with gastroduodenoscopes, colonoscopes, videoendoscopes, electrocoagulation machines, ultrasound and 1000 MA X-ray machine with image intensifier.

Hemato-oncology Unit

The Unit was established in 1990. All routine hematological and biochemical investigations are being carried out in this laboratory. Testing for HIV is also done. A speciality clinic is held once a week wherein patients have facilities for day care chemotherapy. The unit has facilities for routine hematological and biochemical investigations, ELISA, electrophoresis, cell culture and cytogenetics. Research is an integral activity of the unit. Basic and applied research findings in the area of myeloproliferative disorders and aplastic anemia have been published in reputed international journals. One student has received PhD on this work.

ART Centre & NACO Training Centre: Recently, the department has been approved for ART (antiretroviral therapy) by the National Aids Control Organization (NACO).
