KSRelief continues health drive in Comoros

COMOROS:  The volunteer medical team of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSRelief) held pediatric and general surgeries in Moroni, the capital of Comoros, as part of its medical campaign.

On Sunday, 60 patients were screened and 15 operations were conducted, six on children and nine on adults. 

The surgeries covered inguinal and umbilical hernias, hydrocele, retractile testicle, water cysts, appendectomy, and radical inguinal orchiectomy for a 14-year-old boy.

This medical campaign is part of the voluntary work carried out by KSRelief to fulfill the Kingdom’s Vision 2030. 

It is also part of a series of voluntary campaigns funded and implemented by KSRelief in many countries around the world, under the generous guidance of King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. 

The specialties of the medical team, which will stay on the island for a week, include urology, pediatric surgery and general surgery.
