Physicians for Human Rights delegation completed its mission by performing three major operations

The local medical team, assessed by the Physicians for Human Rights delegation headed by Dr. Firas Abu Akar, a consultant thoracic surgeon, succeeded in performing three major operations, which were the excision of the thymic glands for patients suffering from myasthenia gravis.

Dr. Raed Al-Arini, Head of the Thoracic Surgery Department at Al-Shifa Complex, said that despite the delegation’s quick visit, the local surgical teams were highly prepared to perform such operations. He thanked Dr. Abu Akar and the medical-surgical team for their great efforts.
