Surgical procedures have commenced at our facility, marking a significant expansion of our medical services. This follows a period of providing specialist outpatient consultations and signifies the full operation of our Inpatient Department (IPD). With enhanced capabilities, we are now equipped to manage both major and minor surgical interventions, broadening our scope of medical care.
Our initial procedures included haemorrhoidal artery ligation (HAL), a recognised surgical technique for managing haemorrhoidal conditions. This approach reduces blood flow to swollen haemorrhoids using precise sutures, leading to reduced pain and faster recovery. The first patients successfully underwent the procedure and were discharged within 24 hours, demonstrating the efficiency and effectiveness of our clinical protocols.

As PVAC emphasises:
