Matukio /Afya : Apollo Hindu Mandal Pre Clinic

Dar Residents to consult with specialists from Apollo Hospitals

Tanzanians should rush and take advantage of this golden opportunity of the clinical visit of doctors from Apollo Hospitals; Hyderabad. For several years, Tanzanians have failed to receive proper care for or have ended up travelling outside the country to get treatment for kidney and urinary related illnesses.  The objective of the consultations by the doctors from Apollo Hospitals is to ensure that ailing patients receive the correct diagnoses without having to incur great costs.  The two leading specialists at Apollo Hospitals will work in collaboration with doctors from Hindu Mandal Hospital to provide international standard services to Tanzanians.

Patients suffering from illnesses related to kidney and urine are urged to attend and participate in this event. The doctors will be reaching out to patients for follow-ups, reviewing patients’ medical history and advising on treatment as per submitted medical reports.

The two day consultation clinic is set to take place on Friday of 31^st July and Saturday 01^st August at Hindu Mandal Hospital in Dar es Salaam. Patients will have the opportunity to consult with Dr Rajagopal who is a urologist and Dr. Sanjay Maitra a nephrologist between the hours of 9am to 5pm on both Friday and Saturday. These consultation clinics will be conducted for a nominal fee.

Dr. Rajagopal specializes in diseases of the urinary tract and the male reproductive system.  He has been a senior consulting urologist at the Apollo Hospitals in Hyderabad since 1994.

Dr. Sanjay Maitra specialized in nephrology. A nephrologist specializes in kidney care and treating kidney related disease. They commonly treat chronic kidney disease (CKD), polycystic disease (PKD), acute renal failure and kidney stones and are educated on all aspects of kidney transplantation and dialysis.  Dr. Sanjay Maitra has many years of experience in the field of nephrology and has completed DM in Nephrology from AIIMS, New Delhi.  Dr.  Sanjay Maitra has hands on training in kidney transplantation both cadaveric as well as living donor, critical care renal replacement therapy, management of long term hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients.

This is not the doctor’s first visit to Dar es Salaam. This continuous collaboration with Hindu Mandal proves Apollo Hospitals commitment in providing quality medical care and their keenness to further enhance the relationship that had begun with Tanzania over a decade ago.

During the days of consultation, Dr. Sanjay Maitra and Dr. Rajagopal will be reviewing previous cases who were treated by in Hyderabad or during the doctors’ last visit to Dar es Salaam. The doctors will also be seeing new patients. During this time the doctors will enquire about the patient’s history, examine the patient, discuss the possible causes for their symptoms, discuss treatments available locally, possibly issue a prescription, and arrange tests or referrals. In other case, depending on the severity of the patient’s condition, patients may be advised to seek further medical treatment outside the country for certain types of treatment not available in Tanzania.  During these sessions patients may discuss results and/or reports of recently conducted tests with the doctors. This consultation clinic is a golden opportunity for patients suffering from illness related to kidney and urinary tract and need a second opinion or those that cannot afford to travel abroad for further treatment.
