HMC advanced heart failure programme director Dr Amr Badr said: "We had our soft opening in March this year, and are looking forward to further developing our services to ensure we provide the best possible care for our increasing number of patients."

"The AHF unit plays a significant role in attending to the patients’ physical, emotional and psychological needs, and in bettering their quality of life."

The AHF will also provide assessment and re-assessment, short stay admission, pharmacy counselling, patient education, inpatient consultation and education, as well as home telemonitoring services.

The new unit’s home telemonitoring approach will allow the healthcare team to monitor a patient’s vital signs and general condition while the patient is at home.
