In the context of the Asia-Pacific Society for Hernia Surgery in Taiwan, the Society recognized NMC Specialty Hospital in Al-Nahda, Dubai as a center of excellence in Hernia Surgery, making it the only hospital in the UAE to receive accreditation.
The official accreditation plate was received by Dr. J. Matthew, a specialist in hernia surgery in the Department of General Surgery in the hospital.
The society is registered in Singapore since 2005 and represents the medical community of hernia surgery in the Asia-Pacific region, such as the American Society (founded 1997) and the European Society (founded 1979), said Prasanth Manghat, CEO & Executive Director of NMC Health.
Following this accreditation, the group organized an international hysterectomy conference, in cooperation with the Asia Society, at the Dussit Thani Hotel in Abu Dhabi, where a rare and complex hernia operation was carried out directly from the Royal Hospital to more than 300 doctors from the region.
