In an initiative to add ‘life to years’, Asiri Health recently celebrated ‘Asiri Heart Day’ with a well-respected group of doctors of the hospital and a cross section of past patients who received treatment under their care.
The main idea of the event was to establish a good relationship between patients and the hospital as aftercare is of utmost importance.
The panel of doctors, which included dietitians, physicians, surgeons, cardiologists and psychologists, shared thoughts and ideas and helped with direction on how to improve the quality of life and practice good health habits, post-surgery, in order to reap the benefits of the second chance of life they received.
‘Asiri Heart’, at Asiri Surgical Hospital, commenced its operations in 2009 and has performed over 2,500 successful heart surgeries. It is recognised as a centre of excellence for ‘heart care’ in the country.
