A specialized medical team from the Royal Medical Services, headed by the Head of Joint Reconstruction and Replacement Specialty, Colonel Doctor Ashraf Al-Jabarat, conducted an advanced surgical campaign for joint replacement at Prince Hashem bin Abdullah II Military Hospital in the city of Aqaba, resulting in 13 knee joint replacement operations, all of which were crowned with success.
Colonel Doctor Al-Jabarat said that the campaign lasted for two days and included 13 surgical operations, affirming that all operations were crowned with success and that the patients are recovering.
He added that the Royal Medical Services intend to organize specialized surgical campaigns and workshops periodically and regularly at the hospital, with the aim of enhancing the medical services provided to the people of the southern region, reducing the transfer of patients to Al-Hussein Medical City and Queen Alia Military Hospital, as well as reducing waiting lists and facilitating patients' access to specialized treatment near their places of residence.
For his part, the Director of Prince Hashem bin Abdullah II Military Hospital, Brigadier General Doctor Iyad Al-Safadi, affirmed that organizing this campaign came under the direct instruction of the Director General of the Royal Medical Services, in coordination with the Assistant for Medical Affairs and Regions and the Head of the Orthopedics and Joints Surgery Department, as part of the keenness to facilitate treatment procedures for patients and alleviate the burdens resulting from their travel to receive treatment outside the southern region.
This campaign comes in the context of the efforts made by the Royal Medical Services to develop specialized surgical services and enhance the efficiency of its affiliated medical institutions, to ensure the provision of advanced healthcare to patients and contribute to improving the quality of medical services provided in Aqaba Governorate and the southern regions.
