Al Rahba Hospital organizes first National Trauma Conference in Abu Dhabi

Al Rahba Hospital will host the first National Trauma Conference in UAE this weekend from April 30th May 1st. The event brings together more than 400 medical practitioners and members of the regulatory community to discuss trauma medicine, share information on the issue, develop assessment skills and improve management of trauma cases.

The conference is being led by Nellie Boma, M.D., M.P.H, and Chief Medical Officer of Al Rahba Hospital. About 20 trauma specialists from Al Rahba, other SEHA HealthSystem facilities and experts from around the region are presenting some 24 different topics across a variety of subjects from prevention to rehabilitation of trauma injuries.

Al Rahba Hospital established an affiliation with the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma in October 2009. As part of this affiliation, the hospital participated in the first of its kind Trauma Centre Consultation Survey in the Middle East on behalf of American College. This consultative review to establish a Level II, Type I Trauma Center at Al Rahba was the first of its kind in the UAE and only the second such review outside of the United States.

According to Dr. Boma, Al Rahba Hospital has built a multidisciplinary Trauma Committee to provide patients with a prioritized plan of care. This is a comprehensive set of services as medical staff work in close coordination to implement appropriate treatments based on the individuals condition on arrival in the Emergency Room.
