For men with symptoms of an enlarged prostate (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or BPH), understanding different treatment approaches is key. Two common procedures are: ▪ TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate): A surgical procedure to remove prostate tissue. It is performed under anesthesia and may involve a hospital stay. ▪ PAE (Prostate Artery Embolisation): A minimally […]
Cardiac imaging helps your doctor assess heart structure, function, and blood flow. Different tests provide different information: ❤️ Echocardiogram (Echo): Uses ultrasound waves to create real-time moving images of your heart’s chambers, valves, and pumping action. ❤️ CT Calcium Score: A quick, non-contrast CT scan that measures calcium plaque buildup in coronary arteries, helping assess […]
When your doctor recommends a diagnostic scan, you may wonder about the difference between a CT (Computed Tomography) scan and an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan. Both are powerful imaging tools, but they work differently and provide unique information. CT Scan: Uses X-rays to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. It is exceptionally fast […]
This January, as we reset our priorities for the new year, let’s champion our health. It’s Cervical Cancer Awareness Month. Cervical Cancer is the most common cancer in Zimbabwe. Proactive health checks, like cervical cancer screening, play a critical role in early detection, as many conditions present without early symptoms. Make 2026 the year you […]
Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus, that when severe, can significantly affect your quality of life. Stress doesn’t directly cause fibroids, but it can worsen the symptoms, leading to increased pelvic pain, heavier periods, and bloating. This happens when stress hormones like cortisol influence your body’s inflammatory response and hormone balance, exacerbating discomfort. […]
A cardiac MRI provides detailed imaging of the heart and surrounding blood vessels using magnetic fields and radio waves. This non-invasive scan helps diagnose various conditions, including coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathies, heart valve abnormalities, congenital heart defects, and inflammation of the heart muscles or lining. It also evaluates heart function and tissue viability, making […]
A bone density or DEXA scan is a non-invasive test designed to assess your bone health by measuring bone density. DEXA is highly efficient in detecting osteoporosis or bone loss, especially in women over 50 who are at higher risk. And that’s not all, our DEXA machine goes beyond just bone density analysis. DEXA is […]
Myth! Uterine Fibroid Embolisation (UFE) is a safe and effective procedure that targets fibroids without harming the uterus and offers significant relief from fibroid symptoms without invasive surgery. UFE works by blocking the blood supply to the fibroids, causing them to shrink and eventually disappear. Unlike a hysterectomy, UFE preserves the uterus. This makes it […]

An ultrasound-guided biopsy is a procedure that uses ultrasound imaging to precisely guide a needle to the area of interest, to obtain a tissue sample for testing. This method provides a safe and accurate way to assess whether cancer is present. The procedure involves no major surgery and is performed with local anesthesia, making […]
