Fakeeh University Hospital in collaboration with Verita Neuro, has announced the launch of the Middle East’s first Epidural Stimulation Program for patients with spinal cord injuries, marking a major milestone in advanced neurological care in the region.
This pioneering initiative represents a transformative advancement in the treatment and rehabilitation of spinal cord injuries, positioning Dubai as a leading destination for innovative neuro-recovery solutions. Until now, access to epidural stimulation therapy required patients to travel abroad. With this program, patients in the UAE and wider region can now receive cutting-edge care closer to home.
Epidural stimulation is an advanced neurotechnology designed to activate spinal networks below the site of injury, supporting improvements in mobility, functional movement, and independence for select spinal cord injury patients.
Commenting on the launch, Dr. Mohaymen Abdelghany, Group CEO & Board Member – Fakeeh Health and CEO – Fakeeh University Hospital, said:
This strategic partnership with Verita Neuro reflects our commitment to providing world-class, evidence-based care in the UAE. Introducing epidural stimulation at Fakeeh University Hospital means patients with spinal cord injuries no longer need to travel abroad to access advanced neurorehabilitation. Together with Verita Neuro, we are redefining the standard of care in the Middle East bringing back mobility, independence, and hope to those affected
The launch of this program further strengthens Fakeeh University Hospital’s role as a center of excellence for advanced neurological and rehabilitation services, supporting its mission to deliver the highest standards of patient-centered, innovative care in Dubai and beyond.
Through strategic partnerships, clinical expertise, and continuous investment in breakthrough medical technologies, Fakeeh University Hospital continues to expand access to life-changing treatments transforming outcomes for patients across the region.
