High Dependency Unit (HDU) Services at Diani Beach Hospital

Welcome to Our High Dependency Unit (HDU)

At DIANI BEACH HOSPITAL, we take pride in offering specialized care for patients who require close monitoring and intensive treatment. Our High Dependency Unit (HDU) is designed to provide advanced care for patients whose condition demands more attention than is available in a standard ward but who do not require intensive care in an ICU.

Who Needs Care in the HDU?

Patients who are admitted to the HDU typically have conditions that require close monitoring and intervention. Common reasons for admission to the HDU include:

  • Post-operative care after major surgeries (e.g., heart surgery, organ transplants)
  • Respiratory distress or need for oxygen support
  • Cardiac monitoring and recovery after a heart attack or surgery
  • Severe infections requiring intravenous antibiotics
  • Neurological conditions requiring continuous monitoring
  • Severe trauma or accidents requiring specialized care
  • Renal failure patients requiring dialysis.

Our HDU Facilities

We understand that a hospital stay can be stressful, both physically and emotionally. Our HDU is designed with patient comfort, safety, and effective treatment in mind:

  • 24/7 Medical Monitoring: Our team uses the latest technology to continuously monitor vital signs and provide timely interventions.
  • Private cubicles & Advanced Equipment: Each patient cubicle is equipped with modern medical equipment, including heart monitors, oxygen support, and advanced respiratory devices.
  • Comfortable Environment: We aim to make the patient’s  stay as comfortable as possible with private rooms, soothing lighting, and modern amenities.
  • Dedicated Nursing Staff: Our experienced and compassionate nurses provide one-on-one care and support, ensuring the patient comfort and safety.

Meet Our Healthcare Team

Our High Dependency Unit is managed by a dedicated team of healthcare professionals who specialize in critical and high-dependency care. The team includes:

  • Consultant Physicians: Specialists in critical care, cardiac care, neurology, and other medical disciplines.
  • Nurses: Highly trained nurses who monitor patient progress, manage medications, and provide emotional support to patients and families.
  • Respiratory Therapists: Experts who help manage and improve breathing conditions.
  • Support Staff: Including physiotherapists, dietitians, and social workers to support recovery in all aspects.

Your Care Journey in the HDU

Upon arrival, our staff will perform a thorough assessment to understand your condition. Depending on your needs, we'll begin the required monitoring and treatment.

Based on the assessment, a customized care plan is developed, focusing on stabilizing your condition and ensuring optimal recovery.

We provide continuous monitoring of vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and more. If necessary, adjustments are made to treatment plans to ensure the best outcomes.

Once your condition stabilizes, the team will discuss the best course of action for discharge, which may include continued monitoring in a regular hospital ward or at home.
