Modern medical techniques for treating diabetic foot in Al Kafeel Specialized Hospital

The administration of the Al-Kafeel Super Speciality Hospital of the al-Abbas's (p) holy shrine has put within its plan is to keep abreast of all that is happening at the level of development in the medical and therapeutic field, and has made great strides in this field, most of which have been successful, such as the use of Dermacyn and Microcyn, one of the latest treatments for diabetic foot, bed ulcers, wounds, burns and ulcers in diabetics, clinical and surgical ulcers and varicose ulcers.

This treatment has proved safe and effective, and through which many cases of amputation or parts have been prevented.

And the hospital is considered one of its official agents. The hospital has received hundreds of cases and we have been able to prevent cases of amputation and elimination of gangrene, ulcers, burns, Post-surgical operations' wounds and we have achieved good results in this area.
