HADRAMOUT: The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center completed a voluntary plastic surgery medical campaign for burns and deformities at Seiyun General Hospital in Hadramout governorate, Yemen, with the participation of Saudi volunteers from various medical fields. The campaign was held from July 30 to Aug. 6. Over the course of the scheme, the center’s volunteer medical team examined 250 patients and conducted 50 surgeries, all of which were successful. The project falls within the framework of support provided by the Kingdom through KSrelief, for the medical sector in Yemen, and to consolidate the culture of volunteer work in Saudi society in accordance with the objectives of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030. Earlier, the center launched the second phase of its project to provide free eye surgeries, part of the Noor Saudi program, which will be implemented in Yemen’s governorates of Aden and Mukalla. Saleh Al-Thibani, director of the center’s office in Aden, said that the campaign aims to combat blindness and assist patients who cannot afford the costs of treatment. The program aims to perform 6,000 specialized eye surgeries over the course of the year, which will be implemented following a series of projects to cover as many patients in need of eye operations as possible.
