RIYADH: The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) signed on Wednesday an agreement with Al-Basar International Foundation to implement blindness support programs in five countries.

The agreement was co-signed by KSrelief’s Assistant Supervisor General for Planning and Development Dr. Aqeel bin Jamaan Al-Ghamdi and Secretary-General of Al-Basar International Foundation Dr. Adel bin Abdul Aziz Al-Rashoud at the center’s headquarters in Riyadh.

Under the agreement, 30 medical campaigns will be implemented with volunteers and Saudi doctors in Yemen, Bangladesh, Sudan, Nigeria and Pakistan, where about 12,000 operations will be performed.

Al-Ghamdi said that the campaigns come within the framework of humanitarian efforts provided and funded by King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, represented by KSrelief, to achieve the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 in supporting volunteerism.
