Founder
Dr.Salins is recognized for his contributions to Cranio-Maxillofacial and skull base access surgery creating novel surgical techniques leveraging architectural and engineering principles. He has also established several medical centers and has held leadership roles in healthcare. Several decades of experience in healthcare ignited a passion for engineering solutions for the overwhelming burden of lifestyle and aging related chronic disorders in the world disrupting the quality of the life of the youth and health of the elderly. He came to be convinced that as lifestyle and aging related diseases have now become globally a major concern, prevention and curative strategies are inadequate to address emerging challenges. A new domain of “Interceptive medicine” was needed to work with lifestyle changes and technology to shift the current disease centric healthcare to a health centric strategy and provide solutions for patients with nascent chronic disease who appeared healthy !. Indeed, the long continuum of chronic disease before the onset of disease could be intelligently leveraged to delay or even stop chronic diseases and avoid early “medicalisation” and lifelong dependence on drugs for management of chronic disease. This was the vision which led to the establishment of CIMED.
