A new standard for cardiac care in the region
The heart is at the center of life, and for families dealing with serious heart conditions, finding the right care can feel overwhelming. We are committed to personalizing and making advanced heart treatments accessible to families across the MENA region and beyond.
Our focus is clear – to give patients the personalized care they need, when they need it most, with compassion and expertise.
Leading in complex heart treatments
Sidra Medicine was established with a clear vision: to deliver specialized healthcare for women, children and young people in the MENA region and providing them with world-class expertise close to home. While our services span various specialties, our Heart Center stands out as a beacon of hope for families facing complex cardiac conditions.
Our team specializes in performing lifesaving surgeries for newborns, such as the Norwood procedure for hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) and the arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries (TGA). We also provide comprehensive care for individuals with congenital heart disease (CHD) using cutting-edge techniques. For valve repairs and replacements, we offer advanced options like the Ross and Ozaki procedures, along with repairs for aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valves. This includes specialized approaches like cone repair for Ebstein malformation. Our team has the largest and most extensive experience in the region with transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement, utilizing valves such as Venus P, Edwards, Medtronic, and MyVal.
Each successful procedure is a step toward a healthier, more hopeful future for our patients.
A team that works together for better results
One of the things that makes our approach unique is our focus on teamwork and precision medicine. Our Heart Center team includes expert cardiac surgeons, interventional cardiologists, anaesthesiologists, and specialized cardiac nurses. These specialties are particularly effective for patients with complex heart conditions, as they combine the best of surgical, interventional, and supportive care.
In addition, our Heart Center team collaborates with other departments, such as imaging specialists, respiratory therapists, and rehabilitation experts, to ensure comprehensive care that enhances recovery and long-term health.
Personalized care close to home
For many families in the region, seeking advanced medical care often means traveling far from home, leaving behind support networks and familiar surroundings. We have transformed access to care in the MENA region, bringing world-class, personalized treatments closer to home so families no longer have to seek solutions abroad.
From neonatal surgeries, CHD procedures to respiratory and cardiac ECMO support, we provide precision health services that match or exceed global standards. Families can trust that they are receiving the highest level of care without the added stress of traveling far away.
Our focus on precision healthcare by personalizing heart care based on each patient’s unique medical history, lifestyle, and specific health needs, is what sets us apart. Using advanced diagnostic tools such as imaging techniques (MRI, CT scans, echocardiograms) and biomarker assessments, we create personalized treatment plans that include tailored medications and lifestyle advice.
Focused on a brighter future
We recognize that every patient is more than a case. Behind every diagnosis is a person, a family, and a story. We want to make sure every child and adult who comes to us leaves with more than just medical care — they leave with hope.
To families across the MENA region, we offer more than just medical care. We are a partner in their personalized journey to better health. As we continue to push boundaries and deliver exceptional care, we invite you to trust us with your heart and the hearts of your loved ones.
