The Avenues Clinic has moved in to revolutionise patient care by investing thousands of dollars in cutting-edge equipment and procedures.
Speaking at a cocktail dinner to honour 57 outshining medical doctors last Friday, The Avenues Clinic medical director Godfrey Muguti said the medical health centre, a subsidiary of Medical Investments Limited, was making significant strides in acquiring state-of-theatre equipment.
“As a hospital, we continue to invest in cutting-edge medical equipment to enhance patient care, experience, and outcomes,” Muguti said.
“I would like to just highlight some of the other few fascinating pieces of equipment that we have invested in, within our hospital that are assisting us in delivering the exceptional care that we rightly aim for.
“First, our laparoscopic towers in the theatres have revolutionised our surgical procedures. These towers enable minimally invasive surgeries that not only reduce the length of hospital stays but also contribute to quicker recoveries and better overall outcomes for our patients.
“In our neonatal unit, we introduced Giraffe incubators — state-of-the-art equipment designed to provide the optimal environment for our tiniest patients.
“With these incubators, we have witnessed remarkable success, with premature babies born as early as 24 to 26 weeks defying international survival odds.”
Muguti said one memorable case involved a mother who stayed with The Avenues Clinic for two months, ultimately delivering at 27 weeks, with both mother and baby progressing well.

“These successes underscore our commitment to advancing neonatal care,” he said.
“In addition, our emergency unit has benefited from the integration of a mobile ventilator.
“This device allows our trauma-trained doctors to deliver critical respiratory support quickly, ensuring that patients in urgent need receive timely care without the delays often associated with transferring them to the ICU.”
Muguti said the awards dinner marked the fourth edition of the annual appreciation ceremony, which has grown significantly in size and prestige over the years. This year’s theme was Getting It Right the First Time.
The Avenues Clinic general manager Sibusisiwe Ndlovu said this year’s theme was in sync with the medical institution’s shared obligation.
“This speaks to our shared commitment — your commitment as doctors to delivering accurate diagnoses and effective treatments and our commitment as a hospital to ensuring that the environment, resources and systems in place support you in delivering the best outcomes, right the first time,” she said.
“The road is long and maybe winding, but there is nothing concerted effort cannot address. We will definitely get it right the first time.”
Ndlovu said The Avenues Clinic continues to improve its infrastructure and services to support medical practitioners’ work and enhance patient care.
“We are making steady progress with gradual infrastructure improvements aimed at improving our facilities, ensuring that both our patients and healthcare professionals have a world-class environment,” she said.
Several patients have inspirational testimonies, highlighting the care they received at the hands of medical doctors at The Avenues Clinic.
Spring Resort, a tourist spot in Mashonaland West province, integrated financial services group Nyaradzo Group and local internet access provider Dandemutande were among the main sponsors of the event.
