Pain management, spasticity management, stroke prevention and therapy services treated in Amana Healthcare's new outpatient program
United Arab Emirates - Amana Healthcare, a specialized provider of long-term acute care, post-acute rehabilitation and home transition and respite care services in the United Arab Emirates, announced today the commencement of outpatient services in both its Abu Dhabi and Al Ain long-term medical and rehabilitation hospitals.
Launching outpatient services in long-term medical and rehabilitation facilities distinguishes Amana Healthcare as the first of its kind in the UAE to provide a specialized outpatient neurorehabilitation service for patients recovering from strokes, head injuries or other neurological conditions.
Specialized outpatient services support individuals who need both acute and chronic pain management, spasticity management due to neurological impairments, primary and secondary stroke prevention, and outpatient therapy services. Each segment offers treatment programs specific to the condition or injury of each patient including medical interventions, exercise programs, and educational therapies.
A western trained rehabilitation team consisting of consultant rehabilitation physicians, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, speech and language therapists, and specialist nurses is dedicated to working with individuals in Amana Healthcare's neurorehabilitation outpatient service. Consultant Rehabilitation Physicians assess each patient and develop a tailored rehabilitation program specific to the needs of each individual.
"The objective of our outpatient service is to treat and assist patients in regaining their sense of independence with an expert rehabilitation team serving as a support system," said Magi Livadaris, VP for Clinical Operations at Amana Healthcare. "Creating tailor made treatments for each patient helps us track their performance and improvement thoroughly, resulting in an overall more effective recovery process."
The various treatments provided in Amana Healthcare's outpatient services include:
- Pain Management: A specialized service for patients recovering from orthopedic or neurological injuries or arthritis that involve both medical treatment and specialized rehabilitation programs.
- Spasticity Management: A team of consultant rehabilitation physicians, nurses, and therapists design treatment programs, including hydrotherapy, to promote and maximize function and use of limbs in patients with cerebral palsy or spasticity-causing disorders.
- Primary and Secondary Stroke Prevention: A team of specialist rehabilitation experts provide a specialized outpatient protocol for patients recovering from a stroke, which is one of the UAE's leading causes of disability.
- Outpatient Therapy Services: A team of specialist therapists assess and treat patients requiring intervention for complex neurological or medical conditions.
"Everything we do at Amana Healthcare, including the launch of our outpatient service, is in line with our mission of using innovative care models characterized by strong cultural and religious adaptation, an emphasis on evidence-based medicine and a commitment to international standards of care," continued Magi Livadaris. "Helping a patient of any age regain their individuality after suffering an illness or trauma of any kind is our key focus."
