King Abdulaziz Hospital Receives Essential Safety Requirements

King Abdulaziz Hospital, a member of the Makkah Healthcare Cluster, has received accreditation for essential safety requirements (ESR) from the Saudi Central Board for Accreditation of Healthcare Institutions (CBAHI).

This is part of ongoing efforts to enhance the quality of healthcare services and achieve the highest safety standards, reported Saudi Press Agency.

The Makkah Healthcare Cluster explained that receiving  accreditation for essential safety requirements (ESR) represents a significant leap in the hospital’s journey to provide distinguished healthcare services.

What Does this Accreditation Say About the Hospital?

 

This accreditation serves as an indicator of the hospital’s commitment to meeting the highest standards of quality and safety in its services.

It also reflects the proactive vision and the utmost attention that the hospital’s management devotes to implementing the latest medical practices and technologies.

Adhering to safety standards enhances trust among beneficiaries as they receive healthcare in an environment that meets the highest international standards.

King Faisal Specialist Hospital

 

King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre (KFSH&RC) has marked a significant milestone in medical innovation in the Middle East.

The hospital successfully performed five transcatheter pulmonary valve replacements using the advanced Harmony Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve (TPV) system.

This achievement represents a leap in cardiac treatment, offering a minimally invasive alternative to open-heart surgery.

Understanding Procedure

Medtronic’s Harmony TPV system targets patients who need further heart valve surgery due to previous failures or complications. It’s especially helpful for congenital heart disease sufferers, often facing pulmonary stenosis or regurgitation.

Additionally, transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) enhances heart blood flow. It addresses conditions like pulmonary atresia and regurgitant pulmonary valve, including tetralogy of Fallot.

Advantages of Harmony TPV

TPVR procedures have become increasingly common, with over 91,000 performed in the U.S. alone in 2020. The Harmony TPV offers several advantages compared to traditional open-heart surgery.

These include less invasive techniques, reduced recovery time, and lower risk of complications.

This approach significantly reduces the strain on the heart and speeds up the recovery process for patients.
