A 13-year-old Palestinian girl, with a rare, potentially life-threatening genetic disease, has got a new lease of life after undergoing a specialised treatment at the UAE Floating Hospital in Egypt's Al Arish.
Sama Mohammed Ibrahim Al Ghareez was admitted to the Floating Hospital to treat atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) that causes small blood clots and organ damage.
A treatment plan introduced by the hospital's specialised team saw Sama receive a therapeutic injection every two months, alongside continuous medical assessments and follow-ups.
The Floating Hospital in Al Arish was set up under the UAE's Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 to offer critical health care to Gazans who were unable to travel far.
Earlier, the hospital opened its own dialysis unit to treat Palestinian patients suffering from kidney diseases.
Overseen by an Emirati medical team, the hospital has a capacity of 100 beds, along with an additional 100 beds for patient companions.
