Jordanian field hospital in southern Gaza carries out complex procedure on Palestinian patient

LONDON: The Jordanian field hospital in southern Gaza performed a complex surgical procedure this week on a 21-year-old Palestinian patient suffering from an enlarged spleen caused by thalassemia. The hospital commander said that the operation was carried out by specialized medical, anesthesia, and operating-room teams, which provide advanced care to the people of Gaza amid challenging conditions. A general surgeon said that the patient needed urgent surgery due to dependence on weekly blood transfusions which had led to iron overload and heart complications.
