The London Clinic joins
Kuwait Medica to advance
diabetic foot treatment in
the Middle East
(London, UK) -
London Clinic is
exhibiting at Kuwait Medica
for the first time (18-19
January 2023).
Dr
Nima Heidari, Orthopaedic
Surgeon and the lead for The
London Clinic’s diabetic
foot service, will be at the
exhibition and participating
in “The Masterclass in the
Treatment and Management of
Diabetic Foot”.
Dr
Nima Heidari will be joined
by fellow experts from
Mubarak Hospital, Dasman
Diabetes Institute and
Mazaya Clinic. The
collaboration aims to
support both patients and
clinicians to understand the
signs and symptoms of
diabetic foot pathologies,
and know what treatment
options are available.
The London Clinic’s
comprehensive diabetic foot
service brings together a
highly skilled,
multidisciplinary team of
experts to support patients
from the UK and overseas,
including with the most
complex diabetic foot cases.
The team of world-class
orthopaedic surgeons,
vascular surgeons,
physicians, radiologists,
physiotherapists and nurses
is equipped with advanced
resources and cutting-edge
technology. This ensures
patients can benefit from
the best possible expertise
for their treatment and
rehabilitation, from the
centre of London’s premium
medical district, Harley
Street.
Additionally,
The London Clinic’s
International team, which
includes Arabic translation
experts, is on hand to
support international
patients and their families
with their unique needs,
throughout the entire
patient journey.
“Our
diabetic foot service is
about not just prolonging
life but prolonging the
quality of life,” said Dr
Nima Heidari. “We have
brought together an entire
unit of specialists under
one roof who can support
international patients with
very complex needs.
“Through our combined
expertise, we are ideally
placed for preventative
treatment – we can identify
and resolve issues before it
gets to the point of
amputation. I am proud to
say the vast majority of our
cases are preventative,
though even for patients who
come to us with advanced
diabetic foot, The London
Clinic is best-placed to
help them.”
Diabetes
is a chronic disease that
impacts 537 million people
worldwide. Complications
linked to the disease can
lead to “diabetic foot” –
ulcers that do not heal,
infection, deformity, pain
and difficulty walking –
which may require surgical
removal (amputation) of the
entire foot or part of the
leg.
With Kuwait
being among the countries
where diabetes is most
prevalent, The London
Clinic’s aim is to provide
holistic care for patients
designed to preserve their
feet, improve their quality
of life, and increase their
life longevity.
Ahmed Al
Khamis, from Kuwait, has
been in The London Clinic’s
care since 18 June 2022. He
said: “I came to The London
Clinic in June 2022 as I was
diagnosed with Charcot’s
foot, which came as a result
of my long-term diabetes. Dr
Nima Heidari needed to
perform complex surgery
followed by rehabilitation
and attention from a
diabetologist and renal
physicians. If It wasn’t for
the wonderful team at The
London Clinic, my foot would
have been amputated.
“I am very happy and
satisfied at The London
Clinic, I felt welcomed and
I appreciate all the great
work done by Dr Nima Heidari
and the attention of the
world-class team here. As an
international patient, I
feel very much at home
here.”
Dr Nima
Heidari adds: “I am looking
forward to connecting with
colleagues in Kuwait Medica
to show how we can support
patients from Kuwait and the
Middle East.”
