Watch: UAE floating hospital successfully performs complex surgeries on 2 Palestinians

The UAE floating hospital in Al Arish, Egypt has successfully performed two complex surgeries, UAE news agency WAM reported on Saturday.

The medical team performed the two operations which required arthroscopic surgery. The first surgery was performed on a female patient who suffered from recurrent dislocation of the right shoulder resulting from an injury suffered during the Gaza war.

The joint was patched and trimmed during the operation. She is now undergoing physiotherapy sessions and is moving her shoulder better than before, WAM said.
