Medical and Hospital facilities updates

[N.Siddiqui]

The Aga Khan University announced today the results of a landmark study which found that AKU has an annual economic impact in Pakistan of Rs 103 billion, or US$ 1 billion, supporting 42,000 jobs. The study also reports that AKU’s spending has a multiplier effect, with every rupee of its direct gross value added generating Rs 7.3 in economic benefits.

This is great news, I was thinking why AKUH was not in the QS top 300 ranking university and why medical tourism is not promoted here with these type of medical facilities and Pakistani doctors are top notch in their profession.

RIC becomes first hospital in South Asia to use MitraClip procedure

RAWALPINDI: The Rawalpindi Institute of Cardiology (RIC) has successfully performed the MitraClip (mitral clip) procedure, becoming the first hospital in South Asia to use the intricate method of heart treatment.

Major General (r) Dr Azhar Mehmood Kayani, the head of RIC, told a private media outlet that the performance of the procedure has made the hospital the first in Pakistan, as well as South Asia, to use the MitraClip technique successfully.

The MitraClip technique is the world’s first transcatheter mitral valve repair therapy. It targets patients with severe degenerative Mitral Regurgitation who are too high-risk for open heart surgery and do not have other treatment options available to them.

Mitral Regurgitation is the most common type of heart valve disease, affecting nearly 1 in 10 people aged 75 years and older.

Dr Kayani said that the procedure has been implemented in the United States and Europe, at costs as high as Rs 10 million, however, at RIC it could be done in Rs 4 million.

The Rawalpindi Institute of Cardiology was formally inaugurated on September 25, 2012. Renowned cardiologist Major General (r) Dr Azhar Mehmood Kayani of the Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology is the chief executive of RIC.
