A HEALTH BRIDGE BETWEEN TURKEY AND LIBYA 4,000 LIBYAN PATIENTS IN 8 YEARS

Medipol Mega University Hospital, one of the leading hospitals of Turkey, held an international event. At the seminar “Limb Restoration and Lengthening: Osseointegration, Precice Technology, Computer-Assisted External Fixators in Bone Defects and Infections” Professor Adnan Kara, an orthopedic surgeon and traumatology specialist, shared his experiences. He was invited by the Medical Services of the Libyan Ministry of Defense and presented his experience in the region. Professor Kara has performed over 4,000 surgeries on Libyan soldiers in the last 8 years.

Medipol goes global
Medipol Mega University Hospital is getting stronger in global healthcare. Professor Adnan Kara presented advanced medical technologies and treatment methods during the seminar held in Tripoli and Misrata from January 9 to 14. He covered war injuries, severe trauma, deformities, prosthetic surgeries, limb lengthening, hand surgeries and ligament repairs.

Osseointegration is a game changer

The seminar focused on limb restoration and prosthetic technologies. Organized by the Medical Services of the Libyan Ministry of Defense, the event gathered Libyan orthopedic specialists and key figures from the healthcare sector. Osseointegration was in the spotlight — a technology available only in Turkey at Medipol Mega University Hospital and a few centers in the world. Osseointegration means direct integration of the prosthetic device into the bone tissue of the patient, making it safer and eliminating many limitations patients face in daily life.

Patient interaction
Professor Adnan Kara was accompanied by Mundir Alweheshi, the first Libyan patient who had osseointegration surgery. After the seminar, Professor Kara met with Libyan patients he had treated at Medipol Mega University Hospital and consulted with patients who would have surgery soon and talked about their treatment plans and concerns.
