Services and departments

The gynaecology and obstetrics department provides antenatal checkups, vaginal deliveries and caesarean sections. Mothers remain under observation in a postnatal ward after delivery. Anaesthesia support is provided for operative deliveries in the hospital theatre. Sick or low-weight newborns are admitted to the special care newborn unit, and older children are treated in the paediatric ward.

The surgery unit admits patients through the emergency department and from the wards. Its operation theatre was renovated and reopened in September 2022. The same programme enlarged the inpatient facility and renewed the emergency unit. A consignment of 460 oxygen cylinders was handed over to the hospital at that time.

Medicine care covers fever, acute watery diarrhoea, chest problems, diabetes and other everyday illnesses. Adult patients are managed in the general wards with support from the inpatient team. Eye complaints are assessed by eye specialists attached to the hospital.

Emergency care

Patients with serious injury or sudden illness should be taken directly to the emergency unit. Staff there assess urgent cases and arrange transfer to the appropriate ward. During the 2024 flood period, the inpatient department managed a heavy surge of diarrhoea admissions. Extra patients were accommodated in the paediatric and adult wards during that response.

Routine consultations start at the outdoor department in the morning on working days. Visitors collect a ticket from the counter and wait until their number is called. The assessing clinician may complete treatment at the outdoor, arrange a specialist review or recommend admission. Previous prescriptions, reports and imaging films should be carried to the consultation.
