SKMC gets new high-tech wing
ABU DHABI — A new hi-tech wing that provides round-the-clock technical support for different medical specialisations has been inaugurated at Shaikh Khalifa Medical Pavilion (SKMP) of Shaikh Khalifa Medical City (SKMC).
Opening of ‘Wing D’, which was announced yesterday, falls in line with the General Authority for Health Services for the Emirate of Abu Dhabi’s (GAHS) ongoing strategy to expand its healthcare services provided by different health institutions operating under the umbrella of the authority.
Dr Ahmed Mubarak Al Mazroui, Director-General of GAHS inaugurated the new wing at the SKMP in the presence of GAHS executive directors, Clyde Eder, CEO, SKMC, Ali Al Mansoori, Deputy CEO, SKMC, and members of senior management team at SKMC. Eder stated that the opening of ‘Wing D’ will significantly increase the ability of SKMP to treat more patients. Medical staff have worked diligently to open SKMP. The project was made possible by the support of the GAHS and their commitment to improve the delivery of healthcare services for the emirate of Abu Dhabi, he said.
‘Wing D’ consists of three wards, including the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), D1 and D2. Ward D1 is divided into 2 sides, A & B: Side A will accommodate cardiac patients and with a total capacity of 32 cardiac monitored telemetry beds. Telemetry monitoring will allow the nurse to continuously monitor the patients without the patients being fixed to a cardiac monitor. This will provide the patients with freedom of movement throughout the ward with the security that they will be monitored by nurses from the central nursing station.
The admission criteria for this ward will be any cardiac patient, with preference given to pre and post-elective coronary angiography, patient’s requiring cardiac monitoring, patient’s transferring from CCU once they are over the acute stage of their illness, and additional patients as directed by the cardiologist. Side B, meanwhile, consists of 46 beds and has been designated as a medical ward for acute medical admissions.
