Physiotherapy

After the 2nd World War there was a greater concentration on physiotherapy as there was a great need for treating increased injured and handicapped cases.  Within a short time the physiotherapy treatment met extreme appreciation of all workers in this field due to the tremendous achievements rendered to patients.  The physiotherapy depends upon natural resources, such as water, light, electricity, heat, exercises, etc. as means of treatment.

Therefore, it is considered the safest treatment with least consequences. Considering the technological development, several technologies were introduced which participated greatly in expanding the scope of physiotherapy treatment, such as short waves, ultrasound, electrical current, low & moderate vibrations, etc.

The physiotherapy Division treatment plays an important role in many fields of medicine, such as, orthopaedics and its surgeries, neurological diseases and its surgeries, internal medicine, paediatrics, etc.

The physiotherapy Division not only offers treatment, but also protects from various injuries through issuing educational articles, correcting misunderstanding, arranging lectures and participating in courses to the workers in various fields.

The Physiotherapy Division at Ahmadi Hospital offers daily services during official working hours and the first visit should be through the treating doctor

                                                                                  

Assisted Reproductive Unit

The Assisted Reproductive Unit started on 1993 by the help of a specialized British team.

In 1993 the first test tube baby was born and since then many infertile couples dreams have come true.

The assisted reproductive unit established at Ahmadi Hospital consists of 2 Gynecologists, embryologist and 4 nurses.

The treatment starts by stimulating the ovaries to produce some eggs, then collecting these eggs and mixing them with the husband’s sperm.

After that the embryologist assesses fertilization and separates the fertilized ones from the ethers and keeps them in the incubators till the day of transfer in to the uterus.  The whole process is done in the outpatient clinic.
