Dr. Arif Al Nouriani, Director of Al Qassimi Hospital in Sharjah, stressed the hospital's role in realizing the leadership's vision for advancing the country's healthcare sector. He highlighted the hospital's continuous efforts to excel in providing specialized cardiology services at the highest international standards. Dr Nouriani proudly announced that the Joint Commission International has accredited the hospital as the first global centre of excellence in treating atrioventricular block and as a reference centre for acute myocardial infarction diseases. These accreditations reflect the hospital's commitment to employing the latest medical innovations and ensuring exceptional healthcare for the community, delivered by a team of highly qualified and specialized healthcare professionals.
The hospital is dedicated to implementing cutting-edge medical advancements to treat complex heart conditions. It offers state-of-the-art technologies like the flexible "Dynamx" stent, which restores artery flexibility. Additionally, the hospital has introduced the advanced dissolving stents "Fantom" and "Freesolve" for the first time in the region. These efforts demonstrate the hospital's commitment to pioneering the latest treatments to enhance patients' quality of life and alleviate their suffering.
The hospital is equipped with cutting-edge technology and advanced techniques to accurately image the arteries from the inside. This ensures precise diagnosis and aids in the placement of stents in complex cases. They also have devices to measure blood flow in the small arteries of the heart muscle, which significantly helps in diagnosing the causes of chest pain. This, in turn, enables doctors to prescribe the most effective treatment for patients. Moreover, the hospital's catheterization unit utilizes the latest methods to treat high blood pressure using the RRCOR system. This advanced technology uses focused sound waves on the renal arteries, effectively contributing to blood pressure control.
It has made significant strides in treating heart rhythm disorders. They have implanted cutting-edge pacemaker devices such as the dual-chamber "AVEIR DR" device, making the UAE the first outside North America to utilize this technology. Additionally, the hospital recently incorporated "PulseSelect" technology, which is a global leader in atrial fibrillation treatment, marking an unprecedented achievement in the Middle East. This enhancement strengthens the hospital's ability to offer advanced treatment solutions for complex cases.
The hospital is dedicated to supporting ongoing medical education initiatives. It aims to strengthen collaboration with international experts from global universities and hospitals through the visiting physicians program. Additionally, the hospital seeks to enhance partnerships with leading global medical companies like Philips and Abbott to host specialized conferences and workshops. These events are designed to offer practical training at various international institutes and centres, demonstrating the hospital's commitment to developing local competencies and providing doctors with access to the latest medical technology worldwide.
It also hosts various community initiatives throughout the year. One notable campaign is "Just for You," which provides free medical services, including general heart examinations and catheterization procedures. These initiatives aim to detect heart diseases early and raise awareness about cardiovascular diseases. They also offer valuable information about risk factors, the importance of a healthy lifestyle for prevention, and ways to improve the quality of life for patients.
Al Qassimi Hospital aims to broaden its services by establishing two state-of-the-art cardiac catheterization laboratories dedicated to treating strokes and peripheral arteries. This initiative will allow the hospital to deliver integrated and comprehensive healthcare. Additionally, the hospital is looking to set up an innovation centre equipped with cutting-edge simulation devices to train doctors in advanced techniques. This endeavour aligns with the UAE's vision to become a leading centre of excellence in the medical field at regional and global levels.
These accomplishments validate the Emirates Health Services Corporation's dedication to delivering advanced services across its health facilities and establishing strategic partnerships to achieve optimal patient treatment outcomes. This effort solidifies the UAE's standing as a premier destination for treating cardiovascular diseases.
For an optimal experience, please
