QRCS sponsors major thoracic surgeries in Gaza

3 years ago

Dr. Raed Al-Arini, the thoracic surgery consultant hired by Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) in Gaza, together with Dr. Diego González-Rivas, a globally renowned thoracic surgery specialist, and Dr. Firas Abu Akir, Head of Thoracic Surgery and Endoscopy Department at the Al-Makassed Hospital in Jerusalem, performed six sophisticated operations at the Al-Shefaa Medical Comlex.

These operations included the removal of pulmonary tumors and right superior lobectomy using new technologies for the first time in Gaza.

Dr. Al-Arini said the medical intervention done with the help of Prof. González-Rivas involved surgeries that had never been performed in Gaza, amid the blockade and closure of crossings, which prevented the travel of critical cases for treatment abroad.

He described the visit by the Spanish surgeon as a good opportunity for the local medical staff to acquire intensive practical experience, as he is one of the world’s best physician-endoscopists who is active in many countries.
