M42’s Healthpoint And Danat Al Emarat Transform Lives With Over 70 Scoliosis Surgeries In Two Years

The Spine team at Healthpoint and Danat Al Emarat hospitals, part of M42's healthcare network, have achieved a significant milestone. Over the past two years, they have successfully performed more than 70 scoliosis surgeries. This achievement highlights their dedication to offering specialised care for complex spinal conditions in the UAE.

By providing high-quality scoliosis treatment locally, these hospitals have reduced the number of patients seeking care abroad. The collaborative program involves expert spinal surgeons, anesthesiologists, radiologists, physiotherapists, and nursing staff working across both facilities. This teamwork ensures comprehensive care for patients.

The multidisciplinary team addresses various complex spinal conditions beyond idiopathic scoliosis. They treat neuromuscular, congenital, early-onset, dysplastic, and syndromic scoliosis cases like osteogenesis imperfecta and Marfan syndrome. Surgical options are available for children as young as four years old using techniques such as growing rods.

Omar Al Naqbi, CEO of Healthpoint, stated: "This milestone is not just about numbers; it’s about restoring confidence, mobility, and quality of life to our patients. Through shared expertise, cutting-edge techniques, and a truly multidisciplinary approach, we are proud to offer scoliosis care that upholds global standards. Our collaboration across the trusted M42 network is a testament to the scale of possibilities when excellence and access go hand in hand."

To celebrate this achievement and honour those living with scoliosis, the hospitals organised a "Scoliosis Success Day." This community event brought together patients, families, and healthcare teams. It emphasised the importance of early diagnosis and expert surgical intervention in improving patient outcomes.

Healthpoint and Danat Al Emarat's efforts in providing complex scoliosis care within the UAE continue to enhance access to treatment while reducing the need for overseas medical travel. Their integrated approach aligns with M42’s vision of advancing sustainable patient-centered care through clinical excellence and innovation.

Their commitment to offering exceptional outcomes reflects a dedication to improving lives by ensuring that patients receive world-class treatment without leaving the country. This initiative underscores the potential of collaboration in achieving healthcare excellence.
