Sidra Medicine, a Qatar Foundation (QF) entity, has performed a complex epilepsy surgery for the first time on an international patient and saved the life of a 10-year-old Kuwait boy. Salem, who used to suffer from at least fifteen to thirty seizures a day, was transferred to Sidra Medicine in Qatar, after his family in Kuwait sought a second expert opinion with the hospital’s renowned specialist treatment programme for children with intractable epilepsy. Salem’s father Dr Abdulrahman Abdullah said, “Our decision to bring my son to Sidra Medicine was based on several recommendations. The specialist and advanced therapies that Sidra Medicine offers competes with centres of excellence that are in the US or Europe. My family and I are extremely impressed with the care our son received here.” (TNN)
