Internal Medicine
The Department of Internal Medicine is among the departments that fall under the MEDICAL DIRECTORATE. It is one of the largest departments at Mt. Meru Regional Referral Hospital.
The department has provided a wide range of services. We focus on acute care (in-patient services), consultation care (for in-patients in the hospital) and Outpatient services for patients with complex multi-system needs. We offer evidence-based patient centered care and patient safety is our number one priority. The department has set the standard for comprehensive healthcare not only in the hospital but also in the Region at large. Our dedicated staff and advanced facilities have earned not only the department but also the hospital a great reputation in the region when it comes to health care.
Our Nephrology unit is headed by a Consultant Nephrologist who dedicates most of her time in ensuring delivery of quality health services. She also supervises registrars who work full time in the dialysis unit. This ensures patients’ daily needs are well met. The Nurse incharge of the dialysis unit is constantly available to ensure Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are observed.
The unit offers; Inpatient consult service, acute and chronic hemodialysis and Slow Low Efficiency Daily Dialysis for haemodynamically unstable patients. We have a multidisciplinary approach to ensure excellent patient, safety and satisfaction.
The senior consultant Nephrologist runs the renal clinic and manages a variety of kidney disorders including glomerulonephritis, management of resistant hypertension and diabetes and the renal related complications, chronic kidney disease, initial pre-transplant work-up and post-transplant follow up.
