A team from Saudi Arabia's King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) visited Iraq to solidify its commitment to supporting the country's healthcare system, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Tuesday.
During its visit to the capital, Baghdad, the team met with Iraq's Health Minister Dr. Saleh Al-Hasnawi. The discussions focused on strengthening critical medical services within Iraq.
The KSrelief team outlined its plans to equip Basra Children's Hospital with modern medical technology, including advanced medical devices, essential equipment, and a critical supply of medicines. These upgrades aim to elevate the hospital's ability to serve patients throughout Iraq.
The delegation highlighted KSrelief's ongoing project to supply Iraq with liquid oxygen and its necessary equipment. So far, 4,500 oxygen cylinders have been delivered to the Iraqi Ministry of Health.
They have been strategically distributed to healthcare facilities across Iraq.
The two parties explored the forthcoming delivery and installation of oxygen tanks in Iraq, set to arrive next month. This initiative aims to further support the Iraqi Ministry of Health's efforts in fulfilling the medical needs of its citizens and ensuring exceptional healthcare services.
