Emergency Medicine Anaesthetic And ICU
The Emergency Department (ED) and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in Mount Meru Hospital are critical components of acute care services
1. Emergency Medicine Department
The Emergency Medicine Department was established in 2018. It was among the first Emergency Medicine Departments to be established in the Regional Referral Hospitals (RRH). Since then, it has been a key Department in establishment of stability to the patients in the Hospital, attending up to 24000 patients per year.
Also due to the nature of Arusha region, this department has been main organ in dealing with major disaster incidences and mass casualties which occur within Arusha and the surrounding regions in the Northen zone.
The Department is divided into two main units which are Resuscitation rooms and Treatment rooms, where patients who are being triaged as Emergency will be attended in the resuscitation rooms and those who are being triaged as Priority or Cue, they will be attended in the treatment rooms.
