The UAE Floating Hospital, a state-of-the-art medical facility stationed off the coast of Al Arish, has undertaken a crucial role in treating wounded and injured Palestinians.

Among its many achievements, the hospital’s Prosthetics Centre stands out for its dedication to helping individuals who have lost limbs during the recent hostilities in the Gaza Strip.

To date, the centre has fitted artificial limbs for several patients and is preparing to assist an additional 25 individuals from the region.

One notable case includes Suha, a 35-year-old patient who underwent a complex surgery to replace her right hip joint with a full artificial joint.

The procedure, typically reserved for specialized hospitals due to its complexity, was successfully performed aboard the floating hospital.

After two months of diligent follow-up and rehabilitation, Suha has resumed her normal activities, showcasing the high level of expertise and advanced medical technology available at the facility.

The floating hospital’s medical team, composed of specialists from various fields, has managed to perform 1,263 diverse surgeries since the hospital began its operations.

This remarkable feat highlights the hospital’s commitment to providing comprehensive care and underscores the capacity of its medical professionals and equipment to handle complex cases typically seen in major specialized institutions.

The Prosthetics Centre plays a pivotal role in this humanitarian effort. Equipped with the latest orthopaedic and prosthetic technology, the centre addresses the urgent needs of those who have suffered limb loss.

The centre’s dedicated team has already completed measurements for prosthetics for seven patients and is actively working on arrangements for 25 more cases.

In addition to prosthetic fittings, patients receive essential physiotherapy and rehabilitation to aid their recovery and integration into daily life.

The establishment of the UAE Floating Hospital and its Prosthetics Centre represents a significant contribution to the ongoing humanitarian response in the region.

Launched under Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, this initiative aligns with the UAE’s broader efforts to provide support and relief to the Palestinian people amid challenging circumstances.

The hospital’s presence in Al Arish not only offers immediate medical care but also serves as a symbol of solidarity and compassion during a time of great need.

The floating hospital’s operations are a testament to the UAE’s commitment to humanitarian causes and its ability to mobilize advanced medical resources in response to crises.

The successful execution of intricate surgeries and the provision of prosthetic limbs illustrate the high standards of care and the effective deployment of resources in the face of adversity.

As the UAE Floating Hospital continues its mission, it remains a critical asset in the humanitarian landscape of the region.

The ongoing efforts to provide medical aid, including complex surgeries and prosthetic support, underscore the UAE’s dedication to alleviating the suffering of the Palestinian people and reaffirm its role as a leader in international humanitarian assistance.

The work being done by the UAE Floating Hospital and its Prosthetics Centre is a powerful reminder of the impact that dedicated humanitarian efforts can have on the lives of those affected by conflict.

The ongoing support and medical intervention offered by the UAE not only address immediate health needs but also contribute to the longer-term recovery and well-being of the injured, providing a glimmer of hope and relief in challenging times.
