1. By Pass Surgery
Bypass surgery, also known as Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), is a procedure to replace damaged or blocked arteries in the heart with blood vessels from another part of the body.
Patients with severe coronary artery disease, where the arteries are significantly narrowed or blocked, may need bypass surgery to improve blood flow to the heart.
A surgeon takes a healthy blood vessel from your leg, arm, or chest and connects it to the blocked coronary artery, bypassing the blocked section to improve blood flow.
Risks include infection, bleeding, heart attack, stroke, and reactions to anaesthesia, though serious complications are rare.
The surgery typically lasts between 3 to 6 hours, depending on the number of arteries being bypassed and the patient’s condition.
2. General Health Care
Preventive health care involves measures taken to prevent diseases or conditions before they start. This includes regular check-ups, screenings, and vaccinations.
Common chronic diseases managed include diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), asthma, arthritis, and heart disease.
The frequency of health check-ups depends on your age, health status, and risk factors. Generally, adults should have a check-up at least once a year.
Women’s health services include gynaecological exams, prenatal care, family planning, breast health screenings, and menopause management.
Paediatric care includes well-child visits, vaccinations, developmental screenings, and management of childhood illnesses and conditions.
3. MALARIA ANTIGEN
The test involves collecting a small blood sample, usually through a finger prick or venous draw, and testing it for malaria antigens.
Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) can detect antigens specific to Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, or both, depending on the test used.
Yes, RDTs are generally reliable for detecting malaria antigens, with high specificity and sensitivity when performed correctly.
Some RDTs can differentiate between P. falciparum and other malaria species, aiding in targeted treatment strategies.
The test involves a simple blood draw with minimal risks, such as minor bruising at the puncture site.
