Carlos Alonso_Senior Vice-President and President International at HillDUBAI, U.A.E., Jan. 24, 2016 At the upcoming Arab Health exhibition, global medical technology company Hill-Rom will showcase solutions from its key product brands – Trumpf Medical, Welch Allyn and the rest of the Hill-Rom portfolio – with one unified offering across a wide range of care settings. Hill-Rom’s core brands work together in five clinical focus areas for the company – advancing mobility, wound care and prevention, clinical workflow, surgical safety and efficiency and respiratory health. The company partners with healthcare providers throughout the region to deliver the latest solutions from across its brands to caregivers.

“Innovative healthcare solutions are crucial to providing cost-effective, high-quality care for patients. With innovative technologies from Hill-Rom, patients can enjoy greater treatment options, better outcomes, and a better quality of life,” said Carlos Alonso, Senior Vice-President and President, International at Hill-Rom. “At the same time, healthcare facilities can more easily benefit from reduced patient care costs when length of stays are reduced through improved treatment.”

Hill-Rom will showcase a range of ICU and medical/surgical bed systems designed to maximise patient safety and caregiver efficiency, along with operating room innovations from Trumpf Medical such as the user-friendly operating table TruSystem 7000, and the Connex Spot Monitor from Welch Allyn.

Hill-Rom’s Impact on Regional Health Trends

According to the UAE’s Ministry of Health, cardiovascular disease and cancer are now two of the three leading causes of death in the region[1]. In tandem, there has also been a dramatic increase in related surgical procedures[2], meaning regional healthcare challenges are now in line with their global counterparts.

Hill-Rom’s comprehensive solutions are designed to address these healthcare challenges across a range of settings, while ensuring enhanced standards of care that benefit institutions and patients as well as the caregivers responsible for patient outcomes.

“Leveraging the extensive portfolio of Hill-Rom across the healthcare spectrum, from the doctor’s office to the operating room through to acute care, allows institutions across the region to optimise their facilities to meet the growing demands stemming from the local healthcare trends and enhance outcomes for both patients and caregivers,” said Alonso.
