Balloon Pulmonary Valve Dilation for Child at Al-Fayrouz
The Public Health Authority continues to expand its advanced medical services within its facilities in South Sinai Governorate by performing a balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty procedure on a 14-year-old child. This was done to treat severe pulmonary valve stenosis, which was causing breathing difficulties. This catheterization technique is a non-surgical intervention that provides an effective and safe alternative to open-heart surgery, with an estimated cost of around 300,000 Egyptian pounds. However, the beneficiary only paid 482 Egyptian pounds under the contribution system, reflecting the system’s commitment to providing highly specialized services at an affordable cost to patients. This intervention was only possible thanks to a specialized multidisciplinary medical team, led by experts in cardiac catheterization, anesthesiologists, and nursing staff. These efforts demonstrate a move toward localizing advanced treatment and delivering comprehensive, safe care to patients close to their homes.
