The services of Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolic diseases Unit have been initiated in PGMI, Lady Reading Hospital in February ’2013. The first Endocrinology Unit was originally based at LRH since 1984; however it got shifted to Hayatabad Medical Complex in 1996, which was the new affiliate hospital of PGMI at that time. Since then there was a great paucity of endocrine specialty, to tend to the tremendous turnover of diabetic patients presenting to the hospital. In a brief span of time, the OPD services of this unit have become the busiest amongst the rest of specialties at LRH. Besides there are quiet a large referrals of various endocrine disorders like short stature in children, indeterminate sex, ambiguous genitals, delayed puberty, thyroid, and parathyroid pituitary and adrenal diseases.
