The Tripoli University Hospital has conducted around 200 open-heart surgeries since it resumed cardiac operations last year.

The head of the cardiac surgery department at the hospital, Dr. Khaled Al-Talib emphasized they would continue to perform open-heart operations at the same pace.

He confirmed that the hospital had received supports from the health Ministry concerning implementing a program for internalizing treatment inside the country and restoring confidence in the Libyan doctor.

"The operations performed in the cardiac surgery department are considered one of the major and delicate operations in the realm of advanced surgery," Dr. Talib explains.

He indicated that the operations included "CABG" arterial and valve transplantation, of all kinds, and some patients were on dialysis (CKD), noting that the patients came from all over Libya including the eastern and southern regions.
