As part of Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, the UAE has been providing advanced medical services to wounded and injured Palestinians through its floating hospital established in Al Arish. The initiative is aimed at alleviating the suffering of the Palestinian people.
The Prosthetics Centre at the UAE Floating Hospital continues to fit artificial limbs for those who lost limbs during the war in Gaza. So far, prosthetics have been measured for seven patients, with procedures underway for 25 additional cases. Patients are also receiving physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
The medical team successfully performed a complex surgery on Suha, a 35-year-old patient, replacing her right hip joint with a full artificial joint. After two months of follow-up and treatment, she has returned to her normal life. The success of this surgery, typically performed in specialized hospitals, highlights the competence of the medical team and the availability of necessary equipment on the floating hospital.
The UAE Floating Hospital began offering medical services to the people of Palestine on February 24, 2024.
