Who Are We?
Kuwait Orthopedic Patient Education (KOPE) is an independent and non-profit website founded by Dr. Meshal Alhadhoud and Dr. Najla Alsiri to improve patient care through education. Our educational resources were developed and reviewed by the founders who are Kuwait leading experts in Orthopedic Medicine, Surgery and Rehabilitation. KOPE is not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis and management, but it is a strong element for empowering the patients with the approved knowledge toward optimal medical results.
Why?
After the success of Kuwait Orthopedic Research Group (KOR group: www.korgroup.org) as an independent non-profit group in solving vital issues in Orthopedics through research and publications in the top international and peer-reviewed journals. KOR group wanted to expand their success by involving patients through a website to enrich orthopedic patients with the vital information in Arabic language.
