What is a "high dependency unit"?
A high dependency unit (HDU) is a specialized medical facility within a hospital that provides thorough care for patients who require close monitoring and medical treatment. It is designed for patients who are more seriously ill or require more thorough nursing and medical care than what is available on a general hospital area. HDUs have advanced medical equipment and are staffed by healthcare professionals trained in critical care, such as doctors, nurses, and respiratory therapists.
