Upon his arrival in the UAE, the patient was immediately transferred to a specialized healthcare facility for continued treatment,” the statement added.
Earlier, a six-year-old Palestinian boy from Gaza who was battling acute lymphoblastic leukemia died on December 6.
Both identities of the 58-year old and young patient were not disclosed. They were part of the hundreds of injured and cancer patients who were evacuated from Gaza to receive urgent medical treatment at various hospitals in the UAE, as part of the country's humanitarian initiative ordered by President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
MoHAP reaffirmed its commitment to providing the highest standard of healthcare services to all patients and injured individuals who arrive in the country, “ensuring they receive the necessary treatments regardless of the severity of their conditions.”
