10th brain bypass surgery at Hamad Medical Corporation Qatar

Late last month the neurosurgery team from Hamad Medical Corporation’s (HMC) Hamad General Hospital performed a brain bypass surgery on a 30-year-old patient from the Philippines, marking the tenth procedure performed since the introduction of the Brain Re-Vascularization Program two years ago. HMC is currently the only healthcare provider in the region to offer the surgery, which is a last-resort treatment for patients suffering from symptoms of decreased blood flow due to Moyamoya disease.
