A huge step towards improving the Health Care sector and a milestone in medical treatment in the besieged Eastern Ghouta area in the countryside of Damascus that has been manufactured in compliance with international standards by local Syrian expertise despite the imposed siege.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment which enhances the body’s natural healing process by inhalation of 100% oxygen in a total body chamber, where atmospheric pressure is increased and controlled. It is used for a wide variety of treatments usually as a part of an overall medical care plan. It is a simple, non-invasive and painless treatment. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy improves the quality of life of the patient in many areas when standard medicine is not working.
Hyperbaric oxygen is used to treat all conditions which benefit from increased tissue oxygen availability, as well as infections where it can be used for its antibiotic properties, either as the primary therapy, or in conjunction with other drugs.
