The Hyperbaric Medical Center started
operating in March
1993 in Sharm El Sheikh, South Sinai and comprises a multi-place
multi-lock
recompression chamber which was built in the USA with the funding of
USAID.
It belongs to the Ministry of Tourism. To date, (October 2001), it has
successfully treated over 550 severe cases of DCI. The staff comprises
two full time specialists. Dr Adel Taher, Consultant in diving
medicine,
led the implementation and development of the chamber. He is the
Director
of both the chamber and DAN-Egypt and a member of UHMS and EUBS. Dr
Ahmed
Sakr has been working as
Assistant Director for over 3 years and gained a vast
experience in the management of diving accidents. The chamber is
working
closely together with the new Search and Rescue Center (SAR). Both are
strategically located within 300 feet of the main local jetty.
The Hyperbaric Medical Center doubles
also as a training
facility for European physicians and medical students wanting to
specialise
in diving medicine, as well as offering the chance to local divemasters
and instructors to further their knowledge by taking the Hyperbaric
Tender
Course. Yearly we train 12-15
foreign physicians and between 40-50 new tenders.
Future plans include fitting and
furnishing the newly
built trauma center with in-patient and intensive care units, providing
a greater resource library, auditorium, helicopter landing pad, as well
as accommodation for staff and trainees.
