Mubadala Health Dubai uses ground-breaking precision medicine techniques for same day surgery

Dr. Imran Mohammed, Consultant Anesthesiologist at Mubadala Health Dubai said, “Surgery has often been performed out of need, with minimal consideration for the patient’s experience of disorientation and pain once the procedure is complete. At Mubadala Health Dubai, we have explored ways in which patients can be discharged in the least amount of time, and with minimum amount of pain.

“We want to ensure better patient outcomes and have looked at scientific ways to ensure this. Implementing stringent preoperative procedures is one such measure, as we do a thorough assessment to determine the precise dose of medication and anesthetics we need to deliver to the patient when they are undergoing their surgery. All these measures are in line with international standards of care.

“Going above-and-beyond, we use quantitative measures to monitor how a patient is doing during the surgery. This includes brain monitoring which ensures that the patient is fully unconscious and in a state of ease,” continued Dr. Mohammed.

Dr. Jatin Dedhia, Consultant Anesthesiologist and Chronic Pain Specialist at Mubadala Health Dubai, noted that surgery provides patients with a solution to their condition, but can cause short-term discomfort, which can be eliminated using the right preemptive steps.

“This is why we work extensively before the surgery to ensure that apart from the surgery itself, which will take place during an allocated day, the medications prescribed to the patient will not have any adverse side effects which influences a timely discharge,” said Dr. Jatin Dedhia.  

With a patient experience team member allocated to manage the patient’s surgery experience from start to finish, Mubadala Health Dubai was able to provide measured, and convenient care for their condition, which went unaddressed for nearly four months before the procedure.

The day surgery procedure was led by Dr. Francois Prunel, a French board-certified general and digestive surgeon, supported by Dr. Imran Mohammed, a U.K. board-certified consultant in anesthesiology, Dr Jatin Dedhia, a U.K. board-certified consultant in anesthesiology and chronic pain specialist, and their team of western-certified dieticians and nurse practitioners. All Mubadala Health Dubai staff have undergone extensive training and hold a master’s qualification in their respective fields.
