The Endocrinology Department specializes in diagnosing and managing hormonal disorders, including diabetes, thyroid, adrenal, and metabolic diseases. The Division of Endocrinology at Government Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram was initiated by Dr. Mathew Roy which was later expanded into a full-fledged Department of Endocrinology in 2012. The first batch of DM Endocrinology trainees was admitted in 2017, with an annual intake of two students. The Department of Endocrinology conducts outpatient clinics on Mondays and Wednesdays in the Super Speciality Block. In addition, a dedicated Pediatric and Adolescent Endocrinology clinic is held on Saturdays of the Medical College OPD block. The department also runs a laboratory, where most endocrine investigations are performed under the supervision of the faculty of the Department of Endocrinology. Past and present DM trainees of the department have received multiple awards at national levels. The department is actively involved in various research projects and academic activities including ICMR projects.
Institute of Diabetes (IID): GMC Thiruvananthapuram conducts outreach programs through its Endocrinology Department to extend diabetes care beyond the hospital. These initiatives include awareness camps in schools and workplaces, free screening for early detection, and mobile clinics in rural areas. The programs also focus on adolescent health, addressing childhood obesity and juvenile diabetes. Training sessions for doctors and nurses strengthen community-level diabetes management. Overall, the outreach improves early detection, public awareness, and access to specialized endocrinology services across Kerala.
