Healthcare adopts wireless heart rhythm tech
The efforts of the General Authority for Healthcare to domesticate advanced medical technology were crowned with success when the Cardiology Catheterization Department at Ismailia Medical Complex performed Egypt's first wireless pacemaker implantation. This procedure aims to improve the treatment of arrhythmias and is characterized by its small size and the ability to be implanted via a catheter into the right ventricle without the need for surgery or wire connections, thereby reducing potential complications. Its cost reaches approximately 750,000 EGP, but the beneficiary only bears 482 EGP within the comprehensive health insurance system, demonstrating the system’s ability to provide high-cost therapeutic technologies in an accessible manner. This achievement is a testament to the authority’s commitment to developing specialized services and enhancing the capabilities of medical staff to benefit from scientific and technological advancements that meet international standards. It also reflects the successful collaboration between medical and technical teams in delivering high-quality healthcare.
