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.

Serum-ascites albumin gradient(SAAG)
The Serum-Ascites Albumin Gradient (SAAG) measures the difference in albumin levels between blood serum and ascitic fluid to determine the cause of ascites. The procedure involves collecting blood and ascitic fluid samples, usually through a paracentesis procedure (inserting a needle into the abdomen). No special preparation is needed. Risks include infection, bleeding, or injury during paracentesis. A SAAG ≥1.1 g/dL suggests portal hypertension, while <1.1 g/dL indicates non-portal hypertension causes, like cancer or infection. Results help differentiate liver-related ascites from other conditions affecting the abdomen.Place for Ads
