YET ANOTHER MEDICAL ‘MIRACLE’ AT A UAE HOSPITAL: In yet another example of cutting-edge medical treatment available in the UAE, a two-year-old girl was flown in from Yemen and successfully operated upon at a hospital in Abu Dhabi to separate three of her vital internal organs – urinary tract, rectum and vagina -- that were fused into one single opening. Doctors at Burjeel Hospital had a challenging task on their hands, given the tender age of the patient and the complexity of her deformity. However, as medical facilities in the UAE have time and again displayed in the past their ability to tide over critical and complex medical issues with aplomb, on this occasion too, an experienced medical team -- led by Dr El Gohary, Dr Shahid Rashid and Dr Hamdy Aboutaleb -- helped ensure a seamless and fool-proof procedure – right from a chromosomal analysis to a colostomy -- thereby allowing little S. Taleb a fresh lease of life. [COMMENT BY: Sanjib Kumar Das, Assistant Editor]
