Al Jazeera 360 to broadcast ‘The Last Doctor Standing': A documentary on Dr Abu Safiya
Tribune News Network Doha Al Jazeera 360 is set to broadcast the compelling documentary 'The Last Doctor Standing', which follows the extraordinary resilience of Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, Director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, who defied threats and intimidation to serve war victims. The 45-minute film chronicles the harrowing journey of Dr Abu Safiya and his dedicated medical team, who endured over 16 months of relentless pressure amidst Israeli occupation forces' attempts to evacuate and destroy the hospital. The film highlights how Dr Abu Safiya's determination to keep the hospital operational was a crucial factor for the over 450,000 Palestinians remaining in northern Gaza. Throughout the 16 months, he resisted forced displacement by the Israeli occupation forces. It further showcases how his service towards the community came at a significant personal cost, losing most of his medical team, the tragic killing of his son Ibrahim and the shooting of his second son, Idris and the destruction of his family home. According to his lawyers, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya is in critical condition after being beaten in the notorious Ofer prison. Since December, he has reportedly lost nearly half of his body weight due to forced starvation. Despite Dr Abu Safiya holding foreign citizenship that could have granted him safe passage out of Gaza, the film clearly portrays his choice to remain and serve his people, demonstrating his profound commitment to the profession. The culmination of the film shows his courageous stance ultimately led to his detention by Israeli occupation forces in December 2024. The hospital he fought to protect was later set on fire, rendering it out of service. Watch the documentary 'The Last Doctor Standing' without restrictions on Al Jazeera 360 on Thursday, July 17, 2025, at 21:00 Doha time and on the Al Jazeera 360 app on all smart screens and other devices.

The View Hospital becomes first in Qatar to offer 3D CT Gastric Volume Study for bariatric patients
Tribune News Network Doha The View Hospital, in affiliation with Cedars-Sinai, has become the first hospital in Qatar to offer the 3D CT Gastric Volume Study, an advanced diagnostic imaging service that gives physicians a clearer view of post-surgical anatomy in bariatric patients. The launch of the service marks a milestone not only for the hospital but for the country's evolving landscape of precision medicine. Designed specifically for individuals who have undergone bariatric procedures, the 3D CT Gastric Volume Study delivers highly detailed, three-dimensional images that accurately assess the size and shape of the remaining stomach. The technology helps clinicians detect structural abnormalities, track patient progress, and anticipate potential complications, all with exceptional accuracy and speed. 'For many patients, bariatric surgery is a turning point in their health journey,' said Dr Jassim Fakhro, senior consultant in Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery and Medical Director of Qatari Physicians at The View Hospital. 'But it doesn't end in the operating room. Ongoing monitoring is key, and with this technology, we can now offer unmatched insight and support as patients work toward a healthier future.' This imaging advancement couldn't come at a more crucial time. As rates of obesity and metabolic disease rise across the region, bariatric surgery has emerged as a powerful tool for intervention. But surgery alone isn't enough - what follows is a complex physiological transition that demands thoughtful, individualized follow-up care. That's where the 3D CT Gastric Volume Study makes its impact. By visualising the internal anatomy in such detail, physicians can make data-driven decisions tailored to each patient's unique post-surgical profile. Whether it's adjusting dietary recommendations, identifying mechanical issues, or flagging early signs of nutritional compromise, this diagnostic innovation offers a more complete picture and a more proactive path forward. Moreover, this technology plays a pivotal role in planning revisional bariatric surgeries, particularly in cases of weight regain or severe GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) after the initial procedure. The precise anatomical data provided by the 3D imaging enables surgeons to better evaluate the structural causes behind such complications and tailor surgical interventions, accordingly, improving outcomes and patient safety. 'At The View Hospital, we are committed to healthcare innovation and advancing academic care,' said Dr Fatih Mehmet Gul, CEO of The View Hospital. 'The launch of Qatar's first 3D CT Gastric Volume Study for bariatric patients reflects our medical expertise and dedication to providing precise, personalized treatment through cutting-edge technologies.' With this latest addition, The View Hospital further strengthens its position as a leader in advanced, patient-centered care. By combining innovative technology with a deep commitment to personalized medicine, the hospital continues to raise the bar for what modern healthcare should look likein Qatar and across the region.
