A world-class simulation training programme developed at
Waikato DHB to help a specialist cardiac unit prepare for
the unexpected is drawing attention across the country and
overseas.
The training sessions for the Cardiac
Catheterisation Laboratory, more commonly known as the Cath
Lab, is the brainchild of Waikato Hospital interventional
cardiologist Dr Madhav Menon who worked alongside with
colleagues from the UK, USA and Australia.
The Cath
Lab focuses on diseases of the heart, arteries, valves and
rhythm. They are minimally invasive procedures like coronary
stents to open blocked arteries, transcatheter valve
implants, pacemakers, mapping of electrical pathways and
Egypt plans New Delta to boost food security Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi ordered the implementation of a megaproject to cultivate 1 million feddans west of the Nile Delta in Lower Egypt. The project, dubbed New Delta, aims to create modern agricultural and urban communities as well as industrial complexes that operate in the field of agricultural production.
