CPO of the Week: Maya Takieddine, Kuwait

I'm an orthotist and educator originally from Paris, France, where I graduated in 2011. Currently residing in Kuwait, I balance my work at a school with volunteering at orthopedic centers during vacations to stay connected to my passion for orthotics.

What frustrates you about O&P?

The frustrating aspect of O&P lies in the obstacles encountered when relocating, such as the lack of centers or bureaucratic hurdles, hindering continuous practice.

How do you build rapport with patients in your care?

Building rapport with patients hinges on trust, active listening, empathy, fulfilling needs, and maintaining integrity in promises.

What is your greatest patient story in O&P?

While I have numerous impactful patient stories, they all share the theme of restoring hope and happiness through customized devices.

What do you claim is your speciality - your O&P passion?

Specialized in spine care, I'm deeply passionate about pediatric and traumatology cases .

What do you like most about practising O&P?

The most rewarding aspect for me is the clinical engagement with patients, encountering diverse cases, personalities, and challenges in device design and fabrication.
