A visiting Saudi medical team headed by consultant otorhinolaryngologist Dr. Khaled Muhammad Taibah performed six surgical operations for implanting electronic cochlear ears for a number of Kuwaiti children at Salem Al Ali Center for Speech and Hearing Therapy in the sisterly State of Kuwait.
Dr. Khaled Muhammad Taibah said in a statement to the Saudi Press Agency that the visiting Saudi medical team performed, yesterday, Sunday, four electronic cochlear implantation operations for deaf children in the State of Kuwait, while yesterday they performed two similar operations with the participation of audiologist Areej Al-Awfi. Confirming the success of all operations, praise be to God, that took place in a short time, as one operation did not exceed an hour and a half.
A visiting Jordanian medical team also performed six similar operations for six Kuwaiti children during the past two days.
The head of the ear, nose and throat department at Zain Hospital in the State of Kuwait, Dr. Khaled Al-Abd Al-Hadi, confirmed that the Kuwaiti Ministry of Health does not need to send any case for treatment abroad with regard to cochlear implants from now on, as it has become possible to perform it inside Kuwait with skill and mastery and with the hands of international consultants.
Al-Abd al-Hadi said in a press statement after a visiting Saudi medical team performed 6 cochlear implants for a number of children, and the same was done by a Jordanian medical team // We have invited a delegation of doctors and consultants from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan to Salem Al Ali Center for Speech and Hearing Therapy, which is the time. The first in which doctors of this prestigious level come, whether from surgeons or programmers, all of them have great experience and graduates of American, Canadian and British universities, and we deliberately became Arab consultants for the ease of dealing with patients //.
He pointed out that a Kuwaiti medical team attended those operations to gain more experience, so that in the future, cochlear implants would be performed by Kuwaiti doctors.
