On November 19, the opening ceremony of the New Robotic Rehabilitation and Bone Marrow Transplantation centers was held at New Clinic.
The editorial office reports that Leyla Aliyeva, Vice-President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, Arzu Aliyeva, Head of the Baku Media Center, and Alena Aliyeva attended the ceremony.
First, an acquaintance with the New Robotic Rehabilitation Center was held. It was noted that the New Robotic Rehabilitation Center, located on an area of 3,600 square meters, is one of the first centers in Azerbaijan to create a technological revolution in the field of rehabilitation.
The main goal is to restore patients' functional independence, improve their quality of life, maximize their mobility, and minimize the level of disability in our country. The center provides both outpatient and inpatient treatment services.
The facility employs a total of 3 physiotherapist-doctors, 1 traumatologist-doctor, 4 neurologist-doctors, 4 emergency and urgent medical care doctors, 9 therapeutic physical education (TPE) instructors, 32 physiotherapist-rehabilitologists, 17 nurses/brothers, 2 massage nurses/brothers, and 20 junior medical staff.
The center's Neurotrauma department is intended for the inpatient treatment of citizens with craniocerebral and spinal cord injuries, as well as those requiring rehabilitation after resuscitation from various medical institutions across the country.
In addition, the center offers robotic and classic rehabilitation services in several areas. In the field of neurology, recovery processes will be carried out after stroke, brain and spinal cord injuries, as well as nervous system diseases.
Within orthopedic rehabilitation, restoration of movement will be ensured after injuries and orthopedic surgeries.
Pediatric and neonatological rehabilitation focuses on the early correction of movement, development, and coordination disorders in children. Sports rehabilitation services aim to restore functional fitness and performance after sports injuries.
In the field of hand rehabilitation, hand surgery and the development of motor functions of the upper limbs, as well as the restoration of fine motor skills, will be carried out. Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation serves to increase physical endurance after cardiovascular and respiratory system diseases. Geriatric rehabilitation, on the other hand, aims to expand mobility and improve the quality of life for elderly patients.
Oncological rehabilitation includes ensuring physical and psychological adaptation after oncological treatments. Furthermore, gynecological and andrological rehabilitation will be carried out with a targeted physiotherapeutic approach applied for functional restoration, strengthening, and increasing the elasticity of pelvic floor muscles in cases of pelvic dysfunction. Spinal health services are aimed at the prevention and treatment of spinal column problems.
Rehabilitation in resuscitation and intensive care ensures early-stage recovery for patients who have emerged from severe conditions, and the goal is to strengthen rehabilitation services in resuscitation settings at large state hospitals in Azerbaijan.
The New Robotic Rehabilitation Center aims to strengthen its leading position in both robotic and classic rehabilitation worldwide, integrating scientific and technological innovations into rehabilitation processes, thereby transforming Azerbaijan into an innovative rehabilitation center. Official negotiations for international accreditations in this direction have already begun.
The center's advantages include world-class robotic locomotion and upper limb rehabilitation systems, 3D motion analysis, balance and coordination measurement technologies, artificial intelligence-based assessment and personalized rehabilitation algorithms, a multidisciplinary team consisting of physiotherapists, rehabilitologists, neurologists, orthopedists, psychologists, and occupational therapists, as well as opportunities for international training, certification, and scientific cooperation. With all these features, the center begins its activity as a leading institution in Azerbaijan, creating a technological revolution in rehabilitation and providing both outpatient and inpatient treatment services.
It was noted that the New Robotic Rehabilitation Center will begin operations on November 20.
Subsequently, a tour of the Bone Marrow Transplantation Center was conducted. It was noted that the center has been established as a highly specialized medical center meeting modern requirements. The department is planned to be managed by a multidisciplinary team with extensive experience, applying the latest scientific achievements in the treatment of hemato-oncological diseases.
Within the scope of medical services, both allogeneic and autologous bone marrow transplantation are planned for patients receiving treatment with the mentioned diagnoses.
The center will operate with a 22-bed department for adults and children. Both autologous and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation will be carried out in accordance with international protocols. For patients suffering from diseases such as leukemia, thalassemia, aplastic anemia, lymphoma, and myeloma, this center will create high-level, integrated treatment conditions and significantly reduce reliance on overseas treatment.
The transplantation blocks are equipped with HEPA-filtered airflow, a full isolation regime, and a high-level infection control system, meeting modern sterilization standards.
The main goal of the center is to provide safe, effective, and high-quality treatment to patients, bring scientific innovations into practice, and increase the accessibility of bone marrow transplantation services in the country.
With the newly established center, the medical institution will create broader opportunities in the treatment of hemato-oncological diseases and continue to operate as an exemplary healthcare facility in the application of modern medical standards.
