Zawya24-06-2025
Neoplas Argon Jet was launched after successful trials and a landmark symposium attended by over 150 healthcare professionals, including 80 Omani doctors specialising in infection control and paediatric surgery from hospitals under the Ministry of Health as well as from the private sector.
A major advancement in wound care and infection management technology was celebrated at an event attended by top officials from the Ministry of Health with the official launch of the Neoplas Argon Jet Cold Plasma treatment in Oman.
Oman has a 17 per cent increase in diabetic cases annually, prompting the medical community to explore innovative treatment methods.
The CE MDR-approved German technology was introduced following successful clinical evaluations at Khoula Hospital and Oman International Hospital.
To mark the launch organised by Alfarsi National Enterprises, a high-profile medical symposium was held in Muscat, drawing over 150 doctors and healthcare professionals from across the country. The event brought together leading experts from Europe and Oman for a full day of scientific exchange, practical insight, and a live demonstration of the device.
Fatma al Adawi, a Podiatrist at Oman International Hospital, shared that the symposium was a valuable experience. The science behind cold plasma therapy shows promise, especially for chronic wound management.
The groundbreaking Neoplas Argon Jet utilises cold atmospheric argon plasma to accelerate wound healing, stimulate tissue regeneration, and inactivate pathogens without pain or side effects. Its use in treating diabetic foot ulcers, chronic wounds, dermatological lesions and post-surgical infections has shown remarkable results in clinical settings at MoH hospitals.
Saju George, Managing Director of Alfarsi National Enterprises, stated, "This launch of advanced technology for diabetic foot ulcers and road accident victims marks a new chapter in how we approach wound care in Oman." The Neoplas Argon Jet is the result of years of rigorous scientific collaboration involving neoplas med GmbH, the Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (INP), University Medical Center Greifswald, Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, and various research and industrial partners across Europe.
The symposium featured renowned speakers including Dr Christian Seebauer, Dr Aleksandra Szlachcic, and Prof. Dr Ralf Lobmann, who shared their expertise in plasma-based wound care, dermatology, and diabetic foot ulcers, respectively. Dr Klaus Ruhnau, COO of Neoplas Med GmbH, also addressed the audience, highlighting the global momentum behind cold plasma therapy.

She noted that this achievement marks the culmination of EHS's efforts to adopt and develop advanced digital solutions powered by artificial intelligence, aimed at enhancing quality of life and delivering a smarter, more personalized and inclusive healthcare experience. The ITU report praised the EHS project as an innovative model for leveraging AI technologies to enhance access to healthcare services, deliver personalized content and smart recommendations, particularly for People of Determination and users with limited internet connectivity, through simplified, interactive interfaces that operate with minimal need for human intervention. Represented by Amal Karmostaje, Director of Technical Support Department, Emirates Health Services accepted the organizers' invitation to attend the 'AI for Good Global Summit' in Geneva, a prestigious platform that facilitates knowledge exchange and promotes international cooperation in the humanitarian applications of artificial intelligence. Organized by the United Nations in collaboration with the Government of Switzerland, the summit brought together Karmostaje and a distinguished gathering of decision-makers and experts from more than 50 countries and international organizations.

On World Organ Donation Day KFSHRC announces 10 kidney exchange transplants completed in 48 hours

Riyadh: King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre (KFSHRC) successfully performed 10 kidney exchange transplants over two consecutive days, setting a global record for the highest number of such procedures conducted within a two-day span at a single center, coinciding with World Organ Donation Day on August 13. This milestone reinforces KFSHRC's position as a global leader in organ transplantation. This accomplishment reflects the hospital's high clinical readiness, the seamless coordination of its multidisciplinary medical teams, and its advanced systems for managing donor-recipient matching, alongside its extensive experience in executing complex transplant procedures. All of these factors enable KFSHRC to carry out this type of exchange transplantation with precision and within an exceptionally short timeframe. Paired kidney transplantation is an innovative approach that matches donor–patient pairs for mutual exchange. In this system, each donor gives a kidney to a patient with whom they have no direct relation, while their own relative receives a kidney from another donor. The process significantly improves compatibility rates and offers new hope to patients who face challenges in finding a suitable match within their families. Last year, KFSHRC celebrated a major milestone by completing more than 500 paired kidney transplants since the program was launched in 2011. Since launching its organ transplantation program in 1981, the hospital has successfully performed over 5,000 kidney transplants, placing it among an elite group of global transplant centers. In 2024, the hospital conducted 80 pediatric kidney transplants, the highest annual volume reported worldwide. This makes KFSHRC's pediatric kidney transplant program the largest of its kind compared to leading centers in the United States and Europe. This remarkable achievement underscores KFSHRC's commitment to its vision of being the provider of choice for specialized healthcare. By leveraging its skilled workforce, advanced technologies, and the integration of research and clinical programs, the hospital aims to deliver world-class treatment experiences both locally and globally, while enhancing the Kingdom's position as a leader in organ transplantation. KFSHRC has been ranked first in the Middle East and North Africa and 15th globally in the list of the world's top 250 Academic Medical Centers for the second consecutive year and has been recognized as the most valuable healthcare brand in the Kingdom and the Middle East, according to the 2024 Brand Finance rankings. Additionally, in the same year, it was ranked among the world's best 250 hospitals and included in the World's Best Smart Hospitals list for 2025 by Newsweek magazine.
