AT least 140 Nigerians have benefitted from a life-saving humanitarian medical campaign spearheaded by Saudi Arabia in Kano State, offering renewed hope to cardiac patients and their families.
The five-day outreach was conducted by a 25-member team of highly skilled Saudi medical volunteers under the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief).
According to a statement by the Kingdom’s Press Attaché at the Saudi Embassy in Nigeria, Mohamed Alsahabi made available to Newsmen, the specialists carried out multiple open-heart surgeries and cardiac catheterizations, all of which were completed successfully.
The free medical intervention was targeted at Nigerians suffering from critical heart conditions who otherwise lacked access to advanced care.
Families of beneficiaries expressed relief and gratitude, describing the outreach as a lifeline that not only saved lives but also lifted the financial and emotional burdens associated with complex heart surgeries.
“This project in Kano is part of KSrelief’s broader global program of voluntary medical interventions that have made significant impacts in many countries,” Alsahabi said.
Saudi Arabia, through KSrelief, has established a strong humanitarian record across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.
