Ali Bin Ali Holding supports victims of the earthquake-hit Syria and Turkey

In partnership with Qatar Red Crescent, Ali Bin Ali Holding joined hands to offer urgent humanitarian aid to the survivors of the recent earthquake crisis in Syria and Turkey. The move was necessitated by a global call to action to support the two countries that were hit the most by the 7.8 earthquake magnitude, especially as the death toll increased in the thousands.

In a private meeting at Dohatna Logistics Park (DLP) on February 16, 2023, ABA Holding representatives, Mr. Imad Hashim, Group Communications Manager; Ms. Christine El Salim, Supply Chain Manager of ABA Medical; and Ms. Sona Ghazaryan, Business Development Manager of ABA Logistics, came forward to present the donation items from ABA Medical and ABA Hospitality for the disaster appeal.

For this exercise, ABA Medical provided 5 tons of essential items including: surgery and diagnostics solutions, bandages, dispensers, wheelchairs, depressors, and diagnostic equipment.

ABA Hospitality further contributed 1,200 medical mattresses, designed for users with reduced mobility, chronic illness, disabilities, aging, or injuries, and 1,200 2-ply single color blankets ideal for cushioning the victims in the harsh Middle East winter.

Receiving the donations, Mr. Magid Yousef Eltater, Qatar Red Crescent’s Head of Public Donations, accompanied by Mr. Saif Saad Alajeeli, In Kind Donation Coordinator, was gratified by the generosity shown by ABA divisions. “We are working round the clock in the affected areas to ensure that they are supported. In Syria for example, we are emphasizing on blankets, mattresses, warm clothing and medication as temperatures are below freezing,” said Mr. Eltater.

In a side statement, Mr. Hashim commended the gracious gesture the whole world had demonstrated for the victims. “Such unique acts of kindness go a long way in enhancing unity, coexistence and cooperation among people from different faiths, ethnic backgrounds, race or social status,” he shared.

The donation by ABA Medical and ABA Hospitality is part of the Holding’s all-inclusive responsibility to respond to and integrate social and environmental concerns that affect humanity, while building on its business operations and interactions.

Our prayers and thoughts are with the victims and families affected by the devastating earthquake.

ABA Group’s QCare Medical announces signing of exclusive agreement with Endocare USA

Fulfilling its promise to introduce state-of-the-art services from international medical brands to the Qatari market, Ali Bin Ali (ABA) Group’s QCare Medical announced the signing of an exclusive agreement with Endocare Inc. USA for the distribution of its Endocare™ Cryoablation technology in Qatar.

A prime vision of ABA Group has been to create a comprehensive, world-class healthcare system in Qatar, whose services are accessible to the whole population.

Keeping this vision in mind and with the aim of complying with the Qatar National Health Strategy (NHS) 2017-2022, QCare in May 2017 proudly installed the first Endocare™ cryoablation machine – Cryocare Cs – in the Middle East at Hamad General Hospital.

Well known Urologist Dr. Franco Lugnani flew in to Doha to conduct a demonstration and training for the medical teams of Dr. Ahmed Omar, Head of Radiology department & Dr. Khalid Al Rumaihi, Head of Urology department at Hamad General Hospital. On May 25, the team performed 3 successful surgeries with the Cryocare Cs .

Speaking about this strategic agreement, Mr. Zuhdi Z Al-Jaouni, General Manager of Qcare Medical & ABA Medical, said: “This exclusive agreement is a particularly important one as a growing amount of evidence supports the use of cryotherapy for patients with localized prostate cancer following radiation therapy.”

Endocare Inc. is a medical device company focused on the development of minimally invasive technologies for tissue and tumor ablation.

Endocare™ cryoablation therapy focuses on the development of a specialized type of cryotherapy for the minimally invasive treatment of cancer with a faster and easier-to-operate cryoablation system for freezing cancerous tumors and tissue.

Endocare remains the market leader in this category, as this new system uses nitrogen as the freezing and tumor-destroying element. The nitrogen, called “critical nitrogen” because it works in a unique form at the critical point where gas nearly becomes liquid, is also more powerful and readily available in surgical suites than argon, the freezing element in Endocare’s current market-leading cryoablation systems.
