Your Heart is our PRIORITY
The innovative Trauma Centre Borrowdale & Critical Care Hospital are combining state of the science tech, compassion and super-specialists in different heart-health disciplines to set the bar for heart surgery and post-surgery recovery.
Trauma Centre Borrowdale & Critical Care Hospital in Harare, Zimbabwe, provides comprehensive cardiac care through advanced diagnostic technology, specialised cardiac interventions, open-heart surgery, intensive care, and personalised rehabilitation. The Centre’ s integrated cardiac service brings together experienced cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, anaesthetists, specialised nurses, rehabilitation professionals, and state-of-the-art facilities to deliver seamless care from diagnosis to recovery.
The Centre’ s advanced Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratory( CathLab) enables specialists to diagnose and treat a wide range of cardiovascular conditions using minimally invasive procedures. Coronary angiography, angioplasty, stent placement, pacemaker implantation, and other interventional procedures help restore blood flow, improve heart function, and often reduce the need for more invasive surgery.
Following surgery, patients are cared for in the hospital’ s specialised Intensive Care Unit( ICU), where advanced monitoring technology and highly trained critical care professionals provide continuous support during the crucial early stages of recovery. As patients regain strength, they transition into a personalised cardiac rehabilitation programme designed to restore physical fitness, improve cardiovascular health, and build confidence for everyday living.
For patients requiring surgical intervention, an experienced cardiac team performs complex open-heart procedures using advanced surgical techniques and internationally recognised clinical standards. Every operation is supported by a multidisciplinary team dedicated to delivering safe, compassionate, and personalised care.
