Abu Dhabi:Burjeel Holdings is presenting its advanced deployable medical care capabilities at the 46th ICMM World Congress of Military Medicine in Abu Dhabi. The event showcases how military medical teams can effectively prepare for emergencies, provide field treatment, and manage evacuations from remote areas.
According to Emirates News Agency, Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil, Chairman and CEO of Burjeel Holdings, emphasized the group's expertise in military medical services, highlighting their capabilities in pre-hospital care, specialist training, and deploying healthcare facilities. The display includes training tools like high-fidelity mannequins for military teams operating in isolated locations, drawing on Burjeel's experience in sectors such as oil and gas and humanitarian care.
The congress, themed 'A System for Every Second,' illustrates the patient care continuum from initial response to hospital treatment. Prometheus Medical International, part of Response Plus Medical (RPM), is also exhibiting its military medical training programs, focusing on prolonged field care simulations. RPM offers comprehensive emergency medical support, including search and rescue operations, on-site medical teams, and both ground and air medical evacuation services.
In Abu Dhabi, the BEACON network by Burjeel coordinates emergency and critical care, facilitating hospital transfers. Dr. Shamsheer highlighted the deployment of container-based medical facilities to remote sites, leveraging the group's African experience. He emphasized the importance of humanitarian care, stating, "The most important part is helping."
Burjeel Holdings collaborates with AD Ports Group through DOCKTOUR, a maritime joint venture that integrates medical logistics with modular infrastructure to establish clinics and field hospitals in areas lacking permanent facilities. Burjeel's healthcare operations arm, Operonix, has been instrumental in projects like the UAE field hospital in Amdjarass, Chad, which aids Sudanese refugees and the local community.
Dr. Shamsheer advocates for increased collaboration between the private sector and military entities, suggesting partnerships for training and development of medical teams. He envisions the UAE as a 'training ground for new ideas and developing products' with international applications.
