Linde Sleep & Respiratory Care Centre, one-of-its-kind sleep diagnostic and treatment centre in Abu Dhabi, one of the largest in the region and part of Linde Healthcare– a global healthcare company, is ensuring good sleep health by effectively assessing, examining and treating sleep disorders.
Since the beginning of operations in Q1, 2015, the Linde Sleep & Respiratory Care Centre has used its expertise in the sleep and respiratory health domain to help patients suffering from various sleep disorders in the UAE and the region. The new centre is also creating awareness for thousands who do not understand the complications arising out of sleep disorders.
The launch of the centre comes amidst surging awareness of sleep disorders across the globe. It is estimated that over one third of the world’s population currently suffers from some sort of sleep disorder, be it insomnia, sleep apnoea or restless leg syndrome. These can lead to a number of serious diseases including hypertension, heart disease, stroke and diabetes, among others.
Regionally also, the various health implications from lack of sleep are on the rise, and Linde Sleep & Respiratory Care Centre is employing cutting-edge technology and procedural standards of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine for diagnosis of various disorders.
Mr. Ali Hamdani, Managing Director of Linde Healthcare Middle East, said: “Sleep disorders are still a relatively unknown and uncharted area of medicine and this is where Linde Sleep & Respiratory Care Centre has revolutionized the industry. At the Centre, we provide a platform to develop a complete respiratory care program for various sleep disorders.”
He added: “We are confident that Linde Sleep Centre will contribute significantly within the region to this exciting and innovative branch of medicine, owing to the global expertise we bring with our well-established Linde Healthcare services across the world.”
