A 46-year-old woman with severe multiple health
complications has made a miraculous recovery after spending over 9 months in
the hospital in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Saritah Parathodi Thekkepat, an Indian expat in UAE, was
completely dependent on other family members for all daily activities due to
her health issues. She was completely bedridden after suffering a multifocal
hemorrhagic stroke, flaccid paralysis and acute kidney failure. She had minimal
or no functional movement in both upper and lower limbs as she suffered from
impaired sensation.
She was treated at NMC Provita International Medical Centre,
one of the best UAE hospitals. She was discharged on July 13, 2022. She
recovered after nine months because of the efficiency of UAE Healthcare. The
condition of the female patient improved drastically upon discharge compared to
the condition in which she was admitted.
Dr Al Khayer, NMC, reportedly said, “She had a very
complicated hospital course, presented with sepsis, secondary to strangulated
umbilical hernia, multi-organ failure and an acute stroke.”
Formation
of a Multidisciplinary medical team
Upon Saritah Parathodi Thekkepat’s admission to the UAE, a
multidisciplinary team consisting of physical medicine and rehabilitation
specialists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and language
therapists, dietitians, psychologists and nurses was formed to help her. This
shows that each and every patient is important for hospitals and doctors in the
UAE.
UAE's
healthcare sector
UAEs healthcare sector delivers one of the world’s highest
standards of care. Medical Facilities in the UAE are modern and accessible to
all expats and residents. In the UAE, expats can easily access the hospitals
and clinics covered by their health insurance. UAE’s hospitals also deliver
personalised care, genuine concern and sincere commitment to all the
communities without any kind of discrimination.
The Healthcare sector in the UAE is known to be among some
of the finest in the world. There are 181 doctors per 100,000 residents. The
Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) is responsible for overseeing
healthcare in the UAE. Anyone can access healthcare in the UAE. Healthcare is provided
privately for expats in the UAE.
Earlier, Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City (SSMC), one of the
UAE’s largest hospitals, successfully performed high-risk, complex oral
maxillofacial surgery on a patient with a recurring tumour, in a partnership
with Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (SEHA) and Mayo Clinic. They formed a
multidisciplinary team consisting of the maxillofacial surgeon, radiologist,
pathologist, speech therapist, dietician, and physiotherapist.
