Fakeeh University Hospital, Verita Neuro launch the Middle East’s first epidural stimulation programme for spinal cord injury patients

Fakeeh University Hospital (FUH), in collaboration with Verita Neuro, has announced the launch of the Middle East’s first epidural stimulation program, marking a significant milestone in the treatment of spinal cord injuries. The pioneering initiative positions Dubai as a leading destination for advanced neurological recovery, introducing innovative therapies that were previously unavailable in the region.

Dr Mohaymen Abdelghany, Group CEO and board member of Fakeeh Health and CEO of Fakeeh University Hospital, said: "This strategic partnership with Verita Neuro reflects our commitment to delivering world-class, evidence-based care in the UAE. Introducing epidural stimulation at Fakeeh University Hospital means patients with spinal cord injuries no longer need to travel abroad to access advanced neurorehabilitation. Together with Verita Neuro, we are redefining the standard of care in the Middle East — bringing mobility, independence, and renewed hope to those affected."
