14 September 2026 Punjab Khabarnama Bureau : Fortis Escorts Hospital, Faridabad has launched what it describes as the region’s first dedicated Fever Clinic, aimed at providing early diagnosis and timely treatment for seasonal viral and infectious illnesses amid a rise in fever cases across Delhi-NCR.
The clinic has been introduced during the monsoon and seasonal transition, when cases of dengue, malaria, chikungunya, influenza and other infections typically increase.
Dedicated Fever Care Under Internal Medicine Team
The Fever Clinic will operate Monday to Saturday from 3 pm to 4 pm under the supervision of the hospital’s Internal Medicine team.
It will evaluate patients with a range of acute and infectious conditions, including dengue, malaria, chikungunya, typhoid, influenza/H1N1, seasonal viral infections, prolonged or unexplained fever and bacterial infections. The clinic will also cater to fever cases involving immunocompromised patients.
Diagnostic Services Under One Roof
According to the hospital, the clinic is designed to bring consultation, investigation and initial management together at a single point of care.
Services include fever consultations, CBC testing, rapid diagnostic tests, medication support, day-care and observation facilities, emergency escalation, hospital admission referrals and structured follow-up.
Focus on Early Detection
Dr Rajesh Kumar Budhiraja, Senior Director, Internal Medicine, Fortis Escorts Hospital, Faridabad, said timely evaluation is particularly important during the monsoon and seasonal transition because fever can have multiple causes.
The clinic is intended to help doctors identify warning signs early and determine whether a patient can be managed through routine treatment or requires closer observation or hospital care.
Growing Need During Monsoon
Delhi-NCR experiences a seasonal increase in vector-borne and viral infections during periods of heavy rainfall and changing weather conditions.
Dengue, malaria and chikungunya can present with fever, while influenza and other viral infections can produce overlapping symptoms. Early medical assessment can therefore help determine which investigations and treatment are appropriate.
Special Attention to Serious Cases
Dr BN Singh, Director, Internal Medicine, said the clinic is intended to make fever assessment and management more accessible.
Patients can receive medical guidance and appropriate investigations based on their symptoms, while those showing signs of serious infection can be escalated for further hospital care.
Supporting Patients Beyond Consultation
The clinic’s model combines assessment with diagnostic testing, observation and follow-up.
This approach can reduce the need for patients to move between multiple departments for initial fever evaluation and may help identify cases requiring specialised treatment at an earlier stage.
Fortis Expands Seasonal Infection Preparedness
The launch comes as hospitals across Delhi-NCR prepare for seasonal pressure associated with monsoon-related illnesses.
By establishing a dedicated fever service, Fortis Escorts Faridabad aims to provide a structured pathway for patients presenting with common and unexplained fever while ensuring that potentially serious cases receive timely escalation.
A One-Stop Fever Assessment Facility
The clinic is designed to bring consultation, testing, observation, treatment support and referral together in one setting.
Hospital officials said this can help patients receive appropriate medical advice without having to navigate multiple departments during the initial stages of illness.
