Dr. Adel Khuder and Dr. Alshehab lead the entry of Pectus Up in the Arabian Gulf.
On Thursday, 16 February 2023, the first Pectus Up interventions took place at Chest Diseases Hospital in Kuwait. The operations were led by Dr. Adel Khuder Ayed (Consultant and Head of Thoracic & Foregut Surgery team) and Dr. Derar S. Alshehab (Consultant Thoracic Surgeon), with the participation of Dr. Essa M Y GH ALGhunaim (Thoracic Surgeon), and other team of Thoracic Surgeons from Chest Diseases Hospital.
Being the first time that Pectus Excavatum patients can be operated in the Middle East with the Pectus Up technique, Kuwait becomes a leading country in the whole Arabian Gulf.
Dr. Pablo Paglialunga and Dr. Laureano Molins López-Rodo’s Team at the Quirón Group
(Barcelona, Spain) travelled expressly to participate directly in the surgeries, after Dr. AIShehab and Dr. AlGhunaim visited Barcelona last spring for a training session on Pectus Up at the Hospital Sagrat Cor.
- Growth through innovation/creativity:
Rather than be constrained by ideas for new products, services and new markets coming from just a few people, a Thinking Corporation can tap into the employees. - Increased profits:
The corporation will experience an increase in profits due to savings in operating costs as well as sales from new products, services and ventures.
- Higher business values:
The link between profits and business value means that the moment a corporation creates a new sustainable level of profit, the business value is adjusted accordingly. - Lower staff turnover:
This, combined with the culture that must exist for innovation and creativity to flourish, means that new employees will be attracted to the organization.
