Muscat Private Hospital has announced the opening of its 24-hr advanced Adult Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Commenting on the 24-hr service, Subba Rao, hospital director said, “The 24×7 MPH ICU is being run by a team of experts led by Dr Neelam Suri who has more than 35 years of experience in the field, having worked in the UK and US. Dr Neelam is former head of anaesthesia & ICU, Khoula Hospital.
“The MPH ICU team consists of in-house intensivists, anaesthetists, pulmonologist, infectious disease specialist, interventional cardiologist, gastro-enterologist, haematologist, surgeons from different specialities and many other experts in the field of medicine and surgery. We also have state-of-the-art 24-hr lab and radiology services to support the ICU.”
“Providing our ICU patients with the highest quality of care is a top priority,” said Rao, adding, “Expanded access to intensivist-led care complements our efforts to provide our patients exceptional critical care and deliver access to the gold standard of 24×7 intensivist supervision.”
Rao added, “In the past two decades, we have committed ourselves to transforming healthcare in Oman by making it more accessible and building awareness to make people more proactive, rather than reactive about their health; employing the best technology and treatment protocols in the world; and striving to create an ecosystem of inclusion by working together with other like-minded organisations and people. On this milestone, we reiterate our determination to extend our embrace of care and compassion, strive harder and aim higher to give residents the healthcare they truly deserve.”
Elaborating on the hospital’s infrastructure, Dr Neelam said, “The MPH ICU is equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure and the range of services include – close observation of critically ill patients, non-invasive & invasive ventilation, advanced monitoring and echocardiography. “The spectrum of patients that can be managed include – acute heart attacks, heart failure, unstable arrhythmias, severe complicated pneumonia, respiratory failure, severe asthma, septicemia, acute gastrointestinal emergencies, obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome, anaphylactic shock, sickle cell crisis and burn cases.”
Dr Neelam added, “We’ve been working together to achieve outstanding clinical results and enhance delivery of standardised critical care aligned with best clinical practices. The opening of such a facility will go a long way in serving critically-ill patients in Oman.”
