Al Qassimi Hospital pioneers pulmonary hypertension therapy

A significant shift

The three successful surgeries represent a significant departure from traditional drug-based therapies, providing patients with a more effective and lasting option. A local team collaborated with Chinese professionals to carry out the treatment, which was approved by European regulators and used in about 1,000 cases globally. The next day, the doctors discharged all patients in stable health.

A step towards enhancing patients’ quality of life

Dr Arif Al Nooryani, Director of Al Qassimi Hospital in Sharjah, described the achievement as a significant step forward in improving care for patients with chronic, difficult diseases. He emphasised the hospital's dedication to using modern therapies and enabling local medical staff to provide world-class care.

Vast aspirations for national healthcare

This victory improves the UAE's leadership in advanced healthcare and contributes to national goals under "We the UAE 2031" and Centennial 2071.
