Hospital Islam Az-Zahrah (HIAZ) is a panel hospital under various insurance companies and third party administrators (TPA). We encourage customers to check their respective medical policies with their employer and insurance company before seeking treatment at the hospital.
One of the non-invasive treatments for sleep apnea is CPAP therapy (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure), which helps you breathe properly during sleep. In addition, sleeping on your right side may help reduce snoring and improve blood flow. You are encouraged to seek further consultation with our ENT Specialist at Hospital Islam Az-Zahrah.
