Al-Shifa Medical Complex inaugurate a new Thoracic Surgery Department headed by senior consultant Dr. Raed Al-Arini.
One of this department main goal is to eliminate medical referrals abroad. Doctors have achieved very high success rates that surpassed most of the neighboring countries, where they used laparoscopy interventions, in addition to lung isolation techniques and artificial respiration.
A serious effort is being made to start the Palestinian Board program of Thoracic surgery, which means that the department will be a place where new doctors learn to specialize in Thoracic surgery.
