With FSCAI he has taken the Interventional Cardiology practice in the Private Health care sector in the Sultanate to the highest standards and developed more confidence in patients to choose Badr Al Samaa over travelling abroad for many Cardiac Interventional Procedures.
Dr. Benny Panakkal is also the Fellow of the American College of Cardiology (FACC) and more than 27 years of experience in the field of Cardiology. He has presented number of cases and research papers in many international and national conferences, regularly visits medical institutions for conducting workshops and delivering guest lectures. He is also member of many Cardiology Societies and Associations across the world.
Dr. Panakkal’s main interest and specialty in the interventional cardiology is the radial Access. He primarily does Interventional Procedures through the Radial Route (wrist). This approach is extremely safe and simple procedure which obviates the need for bed rest, and patients can be advised same day discharge after the procedure in appropriate cases. Once blockages are found, angioplasty and stenting is performed in the same sitting through the same route, hence making it more convenient and fast.

The centre has many successful stories of saving lives in emergency and giving a new lease of life to the patients who otherwise had lost hope.
