Speaking About The Camp, The Director Of The Department Of
Surgery Of The Jakaya Kikwete Heart Institute (Jkci) Dr. Angela Muhozya Has
Said That The Camp Has Been Held For The Fourth Time In Collaboration With
Experts From Max Hospital To Perform Surgery On Patients Who Needed More
Expertise Due To Their Hearts Being Less Able To Work.
Dr. Angela Has Said That The Camp Was Aimed At Performing
Major Heart Surgery For Adults Who Have Blocked Coronary Arteries But Also
Their Heart Function Levels Are Below 30 Percent.
"The Surgery We Have Performed On These Patients Is A
Little Difficult, We Have Been Examining These Patients And Inviting Our
Colleagues From Max Hospital So That Together We Can Serve These Patients But
Also Increase Our Skills In Serving These Types Of Patients".
"In This Camp, Patients Have Been Transplanted With
Three Heart Arteries And Others With More Than Three Without Stopping The Heart
With Great Success. This Is A Big Step For Us In Providing Services To Heart Patients",
Said Dr. Angela
In Addition Dr. Angela Has Said That Jkci Is Based On
Performing Surgery On The Dilated Coronary Artery, Replacing The Coronary
Arteries And Setting A New Door For Patients Who Have Problems With Dilated
Coronary Arteries.
For His Part, Cardiovascular Surgeon From Max Hospital In
India, Subhash Sinha, Has Said That His Cooperation With Jkci Experts Has Shown
Great Success Since They Started To Cooperate Until Now.
Dr. Sinha Has Said That Through The Heart Surgery He Has Been
Doing With Jkci Experts, He Has Also Been Providing Training And Various
Methods To Perform Major Heart Surgery For Patients Whose Heart Rate Is Below
30% Without Stopping The Heart.
"My Visit Here At Jkci Is Usually For One Week, I
Believe That These Are The Same Weeks That I Come To Help Patients Get
Treatment. Jkci Experts Also Get A Chance To Learn Because Now I See Big
Changes When We Do Surgery", Said Dr. Sinha.
Dr. Sinha Has Said That One Day He Wishes Jkci To Be A Large
Institution In Africa That Is Trusted By Heart Patients In Africa Because The
Treatment Costs Are Different From Those Provided Outside Of Africa, But Also
The Investment In Medical Equipment That Exists In That Institution Is
Sufficient To Provide Specialist Services For Heart Treatment.
