Under the Supervision of KSrelief, Al-Balsam Campaign Launches in Nigeria to Perform 108 Heart Surgeries and Catheterization Procedures

The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) has launched a voluntary medical project in Abuja, the Nigerian capital, to perform 108 open-heart surgeries and cardiac catheterization procedures in collaboration with the Al-Balsam Association for Health Training and Development.

The project aims to perform 28 open-heart surgeries and 80 diagnostic and therapeutic interventional cardiac catheterization procedures.

The initiative is part of KSrelief’s broader program of voluntary medical missions in various countries, providing medical care to low-income individuals and families.

The Al-Balsam medical team includes 10 Saudi volunteers, including specialized physicians, consultants, nurses, technicians, and administrative staff.

The Al-Balsam team works alongside local medical professionals in patient care, medical examinations, and operating rooms to ensure that patients receive the necessary treatment. The procedures are being performed at the Nizamiye Hospital in Abuja.

The Executive Director of the Al-Balsam Association for Training and Health Development announced the launch of a voluntary medical project for cardiac surgery and catheterization in Abuja, the Nigerian capital, on Tuesday morning, under the generous patronage and direct supervision of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief). 

The initiative is part of Saudi Arabia’s humanitarian efforts to provide specialized healthcare in countries in need.

The campaign reflects the Kingdom’s continued commitment to supporting volunteer medical missions worldwide, helping alleviate patients’ suffering and deliver high-quality healthcare in settings where advanced medical infrastructure may be limited.
