RIYADH: Saudi aid agency KSrelief recently completed voluntary medical projects in Port Sudan, Sudan, providing neurosurgery and spine surgery for children and adults.

The program involved 15 volunteers performing 28 surgeries, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday.

In Yemen, KSrelief concluded a similar initiative, performing heart surgery and catheterization on children and adults.

Throughout the campaign, 23 volunteers conducted 25 open-heart surgeries, 166 adult catheterizations and 57 pediatric catheterizations.

These efforts represent Saudi Arabia’s support, through KSrelief, to needy communities worldwide, SPA stated.

In Lebanon, KSrelief-funded ambulance services by the Subul Al Salam Social Association in the Miniyeh district completed 64 missions in one week.

The ambulance service transported patients to and from hospitals and provided emergency services to accident victims in the district.
