Gaza: Medical teams at the Jordanian Field Hospital in southern Gaza (Gaza/8) successfully performed a complex surgical procedure on a 21-year-old patient suffering from an enlarged spleen caused by thalassemia.
According to Jordan News Agency, the hospital's commander stated that the operation was carried out with a high level of efficiency by specialized medical, anesthesia, and operating room teams. This procedure is part of the hospital's ongoing efforts to deliver advanced medical care to the people of the Gaza Strip, who face extremely challenging conditions.
A general surgeon at the hospital explained that the patient required urgent surgical intervention due to dependence on weekly blood transfusions, leading to iron overload and complications affecting the heart muscle. A complete splenectomy was performed following all necessary medical preparations, and the procedure was completed successfully.
The patient's family expressed their appreciation for the humanitarian and medical efforts of the Jordanian Field Hospital teams, highlighting their role in alleviating the suffering of residents in the Gaza Strip.
