Over here, there are specially trained nurses providing one-on-one or one-to-two care tailored to the needs of each patient. Common conditions treated at our units include:

  • High-risk post-operative cases
  • Obstetric complications, such as pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) and postpartum hemorrhage (PPH)
  • Cardiac, respiratory, neurologic, gastrointestinal, endocrine, and hematologic disorders

Our HDU bridges the gap between the ICU and general wards, where focused care is provided to step-down patients from the ICU and postoperative patients who require close monitoring and acute pain management.
