Consultant and Teaching Hospital for the Lake and Western zones of the United Republic of Tanzania
Main Operating Theatre is a place where major surgeries are performed,
this is the engine of the hospital where by life serving procedures are performed.
Since the establishment of Bugando Medical Centre about 50 years ago, the main operating
theatre was having only five rooms with the average capacity of operating only 25 patients per day.
These was associated with a lot of inconveniences such as unnecessary cancellation of elective surgeries
due to emergencies and long waiting time for surgeries up to three months as the same rooms ware used for emergencies.
From 2018, the hospital started theatre project whereby another five new rooms were constructed and the other five ware
renovated to a high level of accepted standard. The modern main operating theatre has 10 operating room with modern equipment.
Operating rooms for emergency cases are now at the emergency medicine department.
We can operate a minimum of 50 patients per day and we have reduced the waiting time to a week.
