A new dawn beckons for Kenyan medics as Chief Operating Officer of Neuro Spinal Hospital Dubai, Dana Msaddi, revealed that the specialist facility is offering training for Kenyan medics.
Speaking to representatives of African Media who toured the facility this morning, the CEO revealed that they are giving African medics access to their state of art technology. “Some people would wonder why we are giving away our most competitive know how or knowledge. However our CEO believes that patients are not supposed to go through the trauma of huge travel if somebody does a surgery and he could have contributed something to it and the patient suffers as a result. We truly are building to legacy not to business and are on the mission to better healthcare across the World,” Says Dana Msaddi, the Chief Operating Officer.
The Neuro Spinal Hospital has been designed by and for patients and their families. The hospital combines a healing environment with expertise from around the world and the latest diagnostic and treatment technologies. It is also home to the only cyber knife surgery machine in the UAE, a revolutionary alternative to open surgery that gives patients access to world-class care close to home and family.
“The Arab Spine Course Diploma is an interntional program that equips physicians to deliver world class care. It’s very similar and it’s also international. It’s done in modules so you cannot get the diploma immediately and it involves lectures. One excellent aspect is that we have a high number of stations so surgeons are able to get the best hands on training and not just the theoretical that is done technically in classroom,” Adds Dana.
The facility also has specialized units such as back pain & spinal unity, brain surgery unit, joint replacement unit, orthopedic and sports unit and the oncology and radiology unit that aims to cut down recovery time for cancer patients. The extension of this great prowess will mean a lot to Kenya once in place. “I think it’s really good for any spine surgeon or orthopedic neuro surgeon working in spine to be up to date with what they need to offer in terms of patient safety, improving outcomes and also inclusion of technology in the treatment care pathways,” She winds up.
