The Doctors of the Department of Diagnostic Radiology Ranked 3rd in the World in a Siemens Program

Under the auspices of Prof. Dr. Mahmoud El-Metini, President of Ain Shams University, Prof. Dr. Osama Mansour, Acting Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Chairman of the Hospitals Board of Directors, five doctors from the Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology Department at Ain Shams University Hospitals managed to win the third place in a program affiliated with Siemens International, which aimed to generate ideas for developing the infrastructure of the health system in Egypt.

Within one week, doctors: Amr Salem (assistant teacher), Muhannad Ghoneim, Abdullah Morsi, Maryam Hossam El-Din and Mirna Mohamed (resident doctors) were able to come up with three distinct ideas that benefit the medical system in Egypt.

The first of these ideas was an international electronic database for the most important medical information for every patient on the homeland, connected to the national number and a unique QR code for each citizen.

This aims to create a private and secure newspaper for the medical history of every individual in the Arab Republic of Egypt, which helps to preserve and facilitate access to the most important medical information such as chronic diseases, surgeries, laboratories, rumor reports and treatments for every individual in society. at the same time.

And also share this rule as a tool to follow the health status of patients and use some data as a means to advance in international scientific research after the consent of the individuals entrusted.

As for the second idea, it is to create an electronic application that includes all health care providers in Egypt, update their condition, available capabilities, service price/night, and connect it to GPS for easy access to their places after making sure that there is an empty bed, displaying some details of the case through the application and taking approval to receive the case. It also contains a price quote for all participating sponsors, and this will help to unify the prices significantly or for the presence of minor differences. Many of us have experienced during the Corona pandemic the difficulty of finding sponsorships and traveling from one to the other to ask about the existence of an empty place and also from the large disparity between prices

Finally, the third idea is a program that helps to follow up any patients remotely, guide them to errors, encourage them to treat and eventually urge them to visit the hospital and make a home visit. Treating the disease from its inception and adhering to it greatly reduces the possibility of complications of this disease, which are difficult to treat and also coexist with it (diabetic foot amputation).
