Your Relative Has Been Taken to ICU—What Does It Mean?

What is the difference between ICU, HDU and a general ward and why might a patient move between them?

Learn why the name of a unit does not tell the whole story of a patient’s condition or recovery. Subscribe to Health Dispatch for clear explanations of healthcare and medical technology, with an East African perspective. This video provides general education. Speak with the treating team about an individual patient’s care. #HealthDispatch #ICU #patienteducation
