Outpatient Services
Short Stay

The Short Stay Unit is a facility used solely for the treatment of ambulatory surgical cases. This refers to minor procedures after which the patient can safely recover at home with minimum post-operative observation and treatment. The unit is also used for preparation of patients for some minor procedures performed in other theatres within the hospital who then recover in the ambulatory centre and are discharged when stable. The Unit has two theatres with ultra modern equipment to meet clients' needs thus enabling the hospital to provide a one stop service. Patients coming to the Short Stay Unit are received, assessed, prepared, operated, allowed to recover and discharged all under the same roof.
