ZADEER / SPECIALISED CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL

Closer watch for the child who needs more than a ward.

The Paediatric High Dependency Unit (HDU) is for children who need closer monitoring and nursing than a general ward. It is open 24 hours, every day, with a Resident Medical Officer (RMO) on duty round the clock.

What an HDU is

A High Dependency Unit is for children who are unwell enough to need continuous observation and more frequent nursing care than a general ward, but who do not need full intensive care.

Round-the-clock cover

The unit runs 24 hours, every day. A Resident Medical Officer (RMO) is on duty throughout, including the full night shift, together with the nursing team.

Admission is a clinical decision

The doctor on duty decides whether a child needs HDU care, general ward admission or referral. The team explains the plan, the likely costs and how guardians can ask questions.

If more care is needed

Children who need care beyond the unit’s capability are transferred to an appropriate higher-level facility. The team will explain this early. Do not wait for an online reply during an emergency.

For severe breathing difficulty, seizure or unconsciousness, seek immediate emergency care. Do not wait for an online response.
