CESEI Health Care

The Centre of Excellence for Surgical Education and Innovation aims to be an internationally recognized multidisciplinary centre committed to achieving excellence in healthcare services by delivering medical services through the Internet and videoconferencing.

A variety of problems arise when providing physical and mental services, preventive medicine and treatment to individuals. Among them:

• The distance of practicing physicians and surgeons from academic centres creates a barrier to rural physicians acquiring new knowledge. There is an imbalance in the level of knowledge between practicing physicians in rural areas and physicians working in urban academic centres. This situation is not only costly to amend but results in an undesirable effect on healthcare delivery.

• Surgical patients are often immobile and require consultations from specialists and experts who are not widely available. This is particularly true in emergency cases and/or during surgical procedures when advice is required immediately. Air transportation of experts to patients is time-consuming, ineffectual, costly and inefficient.

Our goal is to overcome these problems through the use of state-of-the-art technology.

The achievement of excellence in delivering healthcare services is one of our main projects at the 2nd stage of our expansion, which is currently underway.
