The fifth phase of kidney transplant operations has commenced in Sirt, Libya, marking a significant advancement in local healthcare.
Initiated at Ibn Sina Teaching Hospital, this phase is supervised by a Jordanian medical team from the Arab Group for Kidney Transplantation, led by Consultant Issa Kawalit. The operations target patients from various Libyan cities who require urgent surgical intervention, with all necessary medical tests already completed.
New Phase of Kidney Transplants in Sirt
This new phase of kidney transplant operations aims to localize treatment in Libya. By doing so, it seeks to alleviate the suffering of patients who have endured long waits for surgical intervention. The collaboration between the Jordanian medical team and local Libyan medical professionals enhances the capacity for specialized care in the region.
Dr. Omran Aburaqiqah, the hospital’s consultant urological surgeon and chair of the Standing Committee for Kidney Transplantation, emphasized the importance of this initiative. It not only provides immediate medical assistance but also contributes to the development of specialized medical services in Sirt, benefiting both the city and its surrounding areas.
