AMARA Fitness Evaluation (AFE) is designed to determine your physical fitness level. It measures 5 components: Body Composition, Cardiovascular Endurance, Muscle Strength, Flexibility and Balance. Results of this evaluation will help us understand your strengths and weaknesses so that we can help you set up a regular physical exercise routine.
AFE is meant for people who may anticipate difficulties in becoming more physically active.
Frequently, older people have multiple doctors who each prescribe multiple medications for various medical problems. This often results in them being on a high number of medications. Medication interactions may also occur if the doctors do not communicate with each other. In addition, functional limitations with gait, balance and other problems may be missed, if not specifically checked for.
At Amara Hospital, geriatric assessment is a team-based assessment of an older person’s physical health, functional ability, cognitive function, mental health, and environment.
Nutrition is an important part of a healthy lifestyle and is essential for good health. Without proper nutrition, your body is more vulnerable to illness and disease. An unhealthy diet is a major risk factor for chronic diseases like malnutrition, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disorders and cancer.
The decision to quit smoking is the most important step you can take in improving your overall health. Smoking is associated with a large number of health problems.
Obesity means that you have too much body fat. This is measured using BMI (Body Mass Index). Calculate your BMI by entering your height and weight: https://www.calculator.net/bmi-calculator.html.
Who needs assessment?
Any child who is overweight (BMI between 85% to 94.9%) or obese (BMI at or above 95%) will benefit from our Childhood Obesity Services. Also, if your family has a strong history of obesity and you want to prevent your child from becoming obese, these services will be useful.
An obese child should not be put on a diet, without proper medical guidance.

Preventive Health Check-ups (PHC) will identify and minimize risk factors and detect illnesses at an early stage. This will allow us to initiate appropriate treatments and counsel you on proper lifestyle habits like diet, exercise, sleep and mental wellness. With early intervention, chronic illnesses can be prevented or treated before they start or get worse.
We offer excellent pediatric primary
(Well Baby and Well Child Health Checks) as well as child-focused inpatient and emergency care.
For children with chronic medical problems, we provide appropriate team-based care to improve their functional ability and quality of life. It will also reduce unnecessary emergency department visits and hospitalizations, thereby reducing stress to the family.
Most parents are good about taking children to the doctor when they are sick, but regular pediatrician visits are just as important for healthy children.
A new baby is a bundle of joy and fun. Yet understanding all of your responsibilities as a new parent can become overwhelming and stressful. Amara is here to support you through this process. Appropriately scheduled Well Baby Checks are important in monitoring your baby’s growth, development, eating and sleeping habits. They also ensure that your baby receives the necessary vaccination in time.
Let us be partners in ensuring your baby’s health.
After surgery, you will be sent to the PACU to recover and wake up. PACU is a critical care unit where your blood pressure, pulse, breathing, oxygen level will be monitored. While the anesthetic medication levels fall, you may experience nausea, chills, pain and the throat may feel dry due to the breathing tube that was used. Our team provides comfort and helps you with these issues.
You will remain here for 1 to 3 hours depending on the type of surgery, complications and your medical history. Our PACU team is skilled in recognizing and managing problems that may arise in the post-operative period.
Most people will remember their recovery period and we want this experience to be pleasant for you.
All types anesthesia are administered to keep you comfortable and pain-free during surgery, medical procedures and tests. The type you receive will depend on the type of procedure, your health and personal preference.
There are different types of anesthesia that include:
This is used for major operations such as knee and hip replacements and heart surgeries. GA is medicine administered through a mask or an IV placed in the vein. You will remain unconscious during the procedure, and breathe through a tube placed in your throat. Our anesthesiologist will monitor your blood pressure, heart rate and breathing.
RA includes spinal blocks and epidurals. An epidural is the most common type of pain control method used for labor and delivery. It allows the mother to remain awake and push, while the pain is numbed. The spinal block is used for cesarean deliveries, allowing the doctor to deliver the baby without causing pain to the mother. This way the baby is not exposed to high doses of sedating medications
Conscious or Intravenous (IV) Sedation is used for minimally invasive procedures. It will reduce pain and help you feel relaxed. You will remain awake, but may not remember the procedure.
Patients scheduled for surgery will be evaluated by our Pre-anesthesia team. Your medical condition, medications, fitness for surgery and special needs will be assessed, either over phone or at the hospital. Any testing (blood tests, ECG, X-rays) you require prior to surgery, will be completed. If you are travelling from another city, you may be asked to come a day early to complete testing or given the option to do it in your hometown. Appropriate Pre-anesthesia evaluation will help ensure a safer surgical journey with fewer hassles.
Our Anesthesia team is committed to providing round the clock anesthesia services. We are capable of handling emergency cases by providing anesthesia, as well as advanced care and life-support to critically ill patients requiring immediate surgery. We provide anesthesia to complex adult and pediatric trauma cases.
