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.

The floating hospital began providing medical assistance to Palestinians since it was established in February this year. The floating hospital has a capacity of 100 beds along with an addition 100 beds for those accompanying the patients.
The hospital opened a physiotherapy department last week.
The hospital comprises operating rooms for all types of surgeries, intensive care and anaesthesia units, fully-equipped outpatient clinics, supporting medical services, X-ray facilities, as well as a pharmacy and laboratory, ensuring that it provides comprehensive treatment to its patients.
The floating hospital is part of the Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, a humanitarian operation to support Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, initiated by UAE President Sheikh Mohamed.
