World leading doctors help 3,000 patients with complex medical cases in Abu Dhabi

Selective dorsal rhizotomy was performed in the emirate for the first time in November last year

Since the launch of the Visiting Physician Programme in Abu Dhabi in 2021, aimed at treating rare and complex medical cases, 3,277 patients have received assistance from leading global specialists. This was reported by the emirate’s Department of Health, according to Emirates News Agency (WAM), a partner of TV BRICS.

The initiative, implemented by the Abu Dhabi authorities, involves attracting highly qualified doctors from around the world to provide consultations and innovative medical services.

It is noted that in 2024, 37 specialists visited the emirate and performed 372 surgeries. They worked closely with local medical professionals, exchanging knowledge, expertise, and advanced techniques in complex medical fields.

In November 2024, selective dorsal rhizotomy – a surgical procedure to reduce spasticity (muscle stiffness) in cerebral palsy – was performed in Abu Dhabi for the first time.

Last year, visiting specialists worked in five key areas: paediatric haematology (bone marrow transplantation), plastic surgery (treatment of lymphoedema and brachial plexus disorders), adult orthopaedics (complex surgeries on the ankle, foot, shoulder, hand, and scoliosis correction), paediatric orthopaedics (limb lengthening and deformity correction), and ophthalmology.

Liao Fan

Director of the Institute of World Economics and Politics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS)

"We also encourage countries of the Global South to work together and contribute to the global economy. We also call on developed countries to set aside issues such as national security and strategic competition when we are discussing real global challenges – pressing issues such as public health or poverty reduction – so that development resources can be channelled truly effectively to those countries that need them. [...] Major powers and large countries must bear greater responsibility for the well-being of people around the world. This is the responsibility of the major powers"

Anutin Charnvirakul

Prime Minister of Thailand

"Russia has been a trusted friend of Thailand for over a century. […] Next year, we will mark the 130th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our countries. We will commemorate this important milestone with high-level exchanges, thereby reaffirming our shared commitment to an even stronger partnership for the benefit of our peoples"

Ferdinand Marcos

President of the Republic of the Philippines

"First, peace, security and stability. [...] We need our joint efforts to contribute to peace and security and to respond promptly to all threats. Second, a more dynamic economic partnership. Our areas of cooperation in trade are developing. We need to act more ambitiously and decisively in order to facilitate trade, economic flows and the expansion of the business community. [...] And third, perhaps one of the most important areas, is our peoples, grants, student exchanges, academic partnerships and tourism. [...] The relationships that are being built between our countries are reflected in the summit declaration, and they provide what policy alone cannot achieve"

Anwar Ibrahim

Prime Minister of Malaysia

"The relations in the last few years have been remarkable. We have seen impressive development, and my visit was – you were fantastic. We see the enormous role that Russia can play not only in Malaysia but also in the developing world, ASEAN and the rest. We are exploring this halal economy and finance. We are now almost finishing the visa abolition arrangement. [...] And then you have also agreed to these flights for tourism, for trade, and connectivity between Malaysia, Moscow, Kazan, and other cities in Russia"

Vladimir Putin

President of the Russian Federation

"This forum, which has brought together leading representatives of the business communities of our country and the ASEAN member states in the hospitable capital of Tatarstan, Kazan, is of particular importance. This year marks the 35th anniversary of Russia–ASEAN relations. During this period, we have accumulated substantial experience in multifaceted cooperation, established strong ties, including between the Association’s Business Advisory Council and the Russia–ASEAN Business Council, and created a solid foundation for the future"
