Al Ain Hospital announced that it has completed another redevelopment of its facilities and services with the completed project for three new Operating Theatre (OT), an upgraded Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and a new Clinical Imaging diagnostic machines.
Mr. George Jepson, CEO of Al Ain Hospital said: “The completion of these three projects is part of a larger program to redevelop the hospital into one of the best in class healthcare institutions in the region and beyond. This is a crucial milestone for us. The new OT, ICU and our new Clinical Imaging Institute have some of the best-equipment, technology has to offer. When coupled with the superior medical expertise of our highly qualified staff and the know-how and management capabilities of the Medical University of Vienna and VAMED, it can only help the hospital reinforce its reputation as a best in class healthcare institution in the community.”
In addition, the most important innovation in the OT is its positioning as a Trauma Centre, which will have a specialised team of medical experts from all crucial disciplines under a trauma leader to cater to critical cases.
Prof. Michael Fuchsjaeger, Consultant Radiologist and Associate Professor of Radiology at Medical University of Vienna is in charge of the new Clinical Imaging Institute at Al Ain Hospital. He said: “The new CT Scanner is a revolution in clinical imaging. It scans faster than the heart beat. As a result, the patient need not be pre-medicated prior to the scanning procedure. Because it is a dual source scanner with two radiating sources, the scanning procedure is extremely quick and complete allowing us to do diagnostic imaging for multiple critical cases.”
Another advantage of the new CT Scanner is that it exposes patients to 50 per cent less radiation risk than most other CT machines. While radiation risk is already small with CT Scanners, this advantage, along with its rapid diagnostic capabilities is of particular advantage in times of critical medical intervention.
