An inpatient department or IPD is a unit at St. Paul’s hospital-Kasese where patients are admitted for medical conditions that require appropriate care and attention. The department is equipped with beds, medical equipment, and the clock availability of doctors and nurses.
A patient is referred for admission in the IPD wing either from the outpatient department, emergency, or a referral doctor for a planned procedure. A patient seeking consultation with a specialist for a medical problem can be referred for admission to the IPD for further treatment. A patient who arrives at an emergency unit is shifted to an IPD for further treatment if required. Patients who have a procedure or a surgery advised in the hospital may get admitted for the same for a preoperative check-up and preparation for the procedure.
