Jordan Hospital Kitui is urging members of the public not to ignore urinary discomfort, warning that early testing can help identify infections and ensure patients receive the appropriate treatment. Symptoms such as pain or discomfort during urination can be an indication of an underlying urinary tract infection that may require medical attention.
The hospital is encouraging patients experiencing persistent urinary symptoms to seek professional assessment rather than delaying treatment. Early diagnosis can help prevent infections from worsening and support timely medical intervention.
Dr Joshua, an urological surgeon says key diagnostic service offered at Jordan Hospital is the Urine Culture Test, which helps identify the specific bacteria responsible for an infection. By determining the causative bacteria, doctors can make more informed decisions when selecting the most appropriate antibiotic for treatment.
The hospital CEO Dr Joshua Matu says accurate testing is important in promoting effective treatment and faster recovery while reducing the risk of using an unsuitable antibiotic. Patients experiencing urinary discomfort are therefore encouraged to visit the facility for medical evaluation and appropriate testing.
Residents can access the services at Jordan Hospital Kitui or contact the facility on 0712 992 241 for more information. The hospital is also available online at www.jordanhospital.or.ke, with its message remaining clear: Your Health First, Always and All the Time.
