New programme helps monitor infants while they are at home waiting for their next cardiac surgery.
Medics in Abu Dhabi can now track the wellbeing of newborns with heart problems as they remain at home. The new monitoring programme keeps them safe and healthy as they wait for their second open-heart surgery.
The Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (Seha) on Sunday announced that it has introduced the Interstage Monitoring Programme (IMP) for newborns with heart abnormalities that require multiple surgeries.
Implemented by a dedicated and highly specialised group of physicians, nurses and administrative staff for the first time in the UAE, the programme helps monitor infants while they are at home waiting for their next cardiac surgery.
