Sultan Bin Ahmed listened to a detailed explanation from Dr. Ahmed Mohammed Al Kamali, a paediatric heart surgery specialist, about the cases that have undergone surgery, and those that will be examined and diagnosed to determine the appropriate type of treatment, whether through catheterisation or heart surgery for the sick children.
The Chairman of the Sharjah Media Council learned about the procedures followed in diagnosing medical cases and determining the treatment plans for patients. He observed the preparation methods for patients undergoing catheterisation and various surgical operations, such as heart hole and atrial septal defect surgeries at the hospital.
 
The Deputy Ruler of Sharjah wished them continued health and well-being, praising the significant cooperation from Dr. Ahmed Al Kamali and the local medical team at the National Hospital in Kyrgyzstan for performing surgeries on the patients.
