The goal is to offer high-quality diagnostic services to the people of the country at an affordable price, reducing the need for patients to seek medical treatment abroad and spend their hard-earned foreign currency. This will be achieved by providing diagnostic services that meet international standards. Additionally, renowned General Practitioners, Consultants, and Professors in various medical fields will provide outpatient treatment. The focus is also on promoting health education and medical services. A day care center will be established to cater to follow-up care for cardiac, renal, and oncology patients. The long-term objective is to establish a fully equipped specialized hospital offering tertiary medical services. Furthermore, the plan includes the establishment of satellite collection centers.

Broncho-alveolai Lavage for AFB Stain
Broncho-alveolar Lavage (BAL) for AFB Stain is a diagnostic procedure used to detect mycobacterial infections, such as tuberculosis (TB), in the lungs. During a bronchoscopy, a sterile saline solution is instilled into the lower airways and then suctioned out to collect fluid from the alveoli (air sacs in the lungs). This fluid is tested for Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) using a special stain, which highlights bacteria like Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The procedure helps identify TB or other mycobacterial infections. Risks include infection, bleeding, and discomfort. Results guide appropriate treatment with anti-TB medications.Place for Ads
