At Riphah Medical City center of excellence will be created for Hapatology where life-saving procedure of Liver Transplant will be performed, where a failing liver is repaced with a healthy donor organ, typically from a living donor. It is essential for patients with end-stage liver disease caused by conditions such as cirrhosis, often due to Hepatitis B or C. This surgery is crucial for improving survival rates in patients suffering from chronic liver conditions.
AT Riphah Medical City a comprehensive Urology department will setup where all types of kidney diseases will be catered for, along with kidney transplantation which will be an essential part of this department where replacement of a damaged or failing kidney with a healthy donor organ will be performed, restoring normal kidney function in patients with chronic kidney disease. The success of the procedure has made it a vital treatment option for those with end-stage kidney disease. Transplants reduce the need for dialysis and improve quality of life for patients.
At Riphah Medical City a cutting edge ENT department will be created which will cover all the needs of the community and all types of latest procedures will be performed using the latest equipment.
Furthermore, complex procedures like Cochlear Implantation will also be performed using latest technologies and techniques. This surgical procedure restores hearing in individuals with severe hearing loss by placing a small device that stimulates the auditory nerve. This surgery significantly improves the quality of life for those who are profoundly deaf or have severe hearing impairments. The procedure is highly effective, and the patients can regain a significant portion of their hearing. Success rates are high, making it a valuable treatment for hearing loss.
Riphah Medical City is being planned as a center of Transplantation and it will Include Bone marrow transplant.
Bone Marrow transplant is used to treat various blood disorders, including leukemia and lymphoma, by replacing damaged or diseased bone marrow with healthy donor cells. At RMC both autologous (using the patient’s own cells) and allogeneic (using donor cells) transplants will be performed. The procedure helps in re-establishing healthy blood cell production and can lead to long-term remission in many patients. The success of this procedure provides hope for patients with otherwise life-threatening blood diseases.
At Riphah Medical City nuclear medicine will be an essential part of the patients requiring specialized treatment and shall provide all the services under one roof and it will include all types of therapeutic as well as diagnostic procedures.
Nuclear Medicine uses radioactive materials for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, particularly in cancer treatment. Techniques such as PET scans (Positron Emission Tomography) and SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) provide detailed images of internal processes. LINAC (Linear Accelerator) delivers high-energy radiation to target tumors, while Gamma Knife offers precise radiosurgery for brain conditions. These technologies enable accurate diagnosis and highly targeted treatments, minimizing damage to healthy tissues. Nuclear medicine is a vital tool in both diagnosing and treating complex medical conditions.
Riphah Medical City will be a comprehensive transplant center and will include Cornea transplants as well. To achive Corneal Transplantation a world class Eye department will be setup where most modern equipment will be installed to help health professionals provide the community with their medical needs.
Corneal Transplant restores vision by replacing damaged or diseased corneal tissue with a donor cornea. Advanced techniques like DMEK and DSEAK allow for faster recovery and fewer complications compared to traditional methods. Vision improvement is gradual but often significant, with most patients regaining a high degree of visual function. Corneal transplants are an essential option for patients suffering from conditions like keratoconus or corneal scarring.
At Riphah Medical City cutting edge Stem Cell Therapy center will be created, which will work with and support all departments especially Heamotology for Bone Marrow Transplantation.
Stem cell therapy uses regenerative cells to repair or replace damaged tissues, offering treatments for conditions like Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord injuries, and degenerative diseases. This innovative approach involves harvesting stem cells from the patient or a donor, then using them to promote healing and regeneration. The field is rapidly advancing, with ongoing research and clinical trials expanding its potential applications. Stem cell therapy provides hope for patients with conditions previously considered untreatable.
