Dr. Sanjeev Khulbey from Pacific Specialist Healthcare emphasized the remarkable advancements being made in cardiac care during his presentation at the International Health Conference at the University of Fiji Campus. As medical science progresses, new techniques for early detection, treatment strategies, and prevention tools could extend and enhance the lives of individuals suffering from heart conditions.
During the conference, Dr. Khulbey discussed the significance of leveraging new technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve diagnostics and patient monitoring. These innovations are already making a substantial difference in predicting risks associated with heart disease, thereby improving patient outcomes through targeted treatments. He noted that many patients now survive due to earlier diagnosis and tailored approaches to cardiac medicine.
Furthermore, Dr. Khulbey announced the introduction of Valve Replacement Surgery at PSH Hospitals to help those with Rheumatic Heart Disease. This is part of a broader initiative at PSH to improve accessibility to advanced cardiac procedures locally, which were previously available only overseas. The establishment of such programs is essential not just for enhancing patient care, but also for fostering a healthier community.
The ongoing developments in cardiac healthcare at PSH indicate a commitment to improving not only medical capabilities but also patient experiences by allowing them to receive critical treatments closer to home. This reduces the financial obligations tied to overseas medical trips and serves as a beacon of hope for many in Fiji and the surrounding regions.
Events like the International Health Conference and the previous “Know Your Heart” symposium are crucial for raising awareness about heart health, encouraging lifestyle changes, and empowering the community with knowledge regarding preventative care. The hope is that, with increased educational initiatives and improved healthcare access, more individuals will adopt healthier lifestyles, ultimately leading to a reduction in heart disease prevalence in the region.
