Al-Qanawis:A free four-day surgical camp is set to begin in the Al-Qanawis District, Al-Hodeidah Governorate, on Saturday, organized by the Grameen Yemen Foundation. The camp aims to perform 100 free tumor removal operations, with potential for more.
According to Yemen News Agency, this initiative is being organized in coordination with the Ministry of Health and Environment, its local office, and Al-Qanawis Hospital. The project seeks to alleviate the financial burden on low-income families.
Camp Director Abdulkhaleq Al-Khamisi announced that examinations and case registration will occur at Al-Qanawis Mother and Child Hospital. The surgeries will address tumors in various parts of the body, including the thyroid, parotid gland, tongue, neck, chest, breast, uterus, digestive system, liver, kidneys, skin, and limbs. Port catheter insertion is also included.
Patients requiring surgery will later be referred to Al-Khazan Hospital in Sana'a for further treatment.
