Interviewer: Stefana-Andrada Dobran
Presenting an exclusive interview featuring Dr. Michael Sabalza, a member of the Philippines delegation who participated in the inaugural Neurotrauma Treatment Simulation Center (NTSC). Held in Vienna, Austria, from 16 to 20 May 2022, the NTSC is a pioneering hands-on program that places a strong emphasis on the multidisciplinary approach to neurotrauma care, aiming to shift the treatment paradigm towards long-term follow-up strategies.
In this interview, Dr. Sabalza candidly shares insights into his background and some limitations in neurotrauma care in his country, such as the lack of neurosurgeons to cover the needs of the population. Further on, he discussed the importance of innovative approaches to address limitations (e.g., geographic), the importance of head trauma registries, and many more.
His experiences offer valuable perspectives on the transformative impact of the NTSC in fostering advancements in neurotrauma care, research, and education.
