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.

Slit smear from skin nodule for L.D. bodies
A slit smear from a skin nodule for L.D. (Leishman-Donovan) bodies is used to diagnose leishmaniasis, a parasitic infection caused by Leishmania species. The procedure involves making a small incision or slit in the skin nodule and scraping the tissue to collect a sample, which is then examined under a microscope for the presence of Leishmania parasites (L.D. bodies). The sample is stained (typically with Giemsa) to enhance visibility. Preparation includes cleaning the area, and risks are minimal, though there may be mild discomfort. Results are usually available within a few days and confirm the presence of the infection.Place for Ads
