Dr. Naguru Muntaj
Experience: | 5 years |
Education: | Fathima institute of medical sciences |
Academic degree: | MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) |
Area of specialization: | I am practicing as a general doctor and I deal with wide range of cases, from day to day viral fevers to more specific conditions in women’s health like basic gynaec problems, antenatal check ups or minor menstrual related issues. I also handle paediatric cases, children coming in with infections, growth issues, fever, or routine health needs. Over time I got used to seeing patients from all age groups which keep me flexible in approach, sometimes you move from treating a small kid to an elderly patient in same hour.
I focus on clinical examination, simple investigations when needed and then giving treatment that is practical and easy for patients to follow. I dont like over complicating things, most people just want clear answer and a plan that works for them. Whether its respiratory infections, digestive complaints, or general fatigue, I try to connect medical knowledge with the patient’s daily life, diet, and routine, so the care feels more complete.
While I may not be a superspecialist, I see my strength in being able to provide first line care across gynaecology, paediatrics and general medicine. This help me detect when a condition need referral too, which is equally important, because not every case should be managed at primary level. Over these years, I understood that general practice is not just about prescription but about reassurance, prevention and continous follow up. |
Achievements: | I am proud that in 2022 I secured a regular govt job, something I worked towards for long time and honestly was my main goal. It wasnt an easy path, lot of struggle and waiting in between, but finally reaching there gave me a sense of stability in my medical career. Getting into permanent service not just mean job security, it also allow me to focus fully on patient care without distraction of contracts ending or shifting postings. For me that is a real achievement. |
I am working as a medical doctor with around 5 yrs of clincal experience, my journey started after finishing internship in 2020. I joined Sunrise Hospital as a casualty medical officer where I had to deal with emergency cases daily, from trauma to sudden cardiac events, that gave me confidence and also lot of pressure at same time. After that I moved into public health side, got a contract position with 104 services, where for 1.5 yr I handled a big range of patient calls, on field visits too, and learned how much preventive medicine and early diagnosis really matter in rural setup. Later I joined an urban primary health centre under NHM, again on contract, where I was involved with both outpatient care and community health programs. During this time I had to balance curative care with preventive healthcare, which is never easy, some days were long and repetitive but others showed how small guidance can change a patient’s health. I worked across different systems, private and govt, which shaped me into being more adaptable, sometimes short of resources but still had to deliver care. I also realized that communication with patients, making them trust your diagnosis, is as important as any medicine. Now with 5 years behind me I feel more mature as a clinician, able to diagnose common and complex cases, manage emergencies, and also align with larger health programs like NHM. My aim is to keep learning, maybe add more training into specialized areas, but never lose focus on patient centered care.
