The Department of Support and Development of Medical Services (DSDMS) revealed yesterday that Tripoli University Hospital resumed cerebral catheterisation operations after a hiatus of more than two years. The DSDMS says this comes as part of an effort to strengthen specialised health services inside Libya.
The DSDMS said a schedule has been set for 30 catheterisation operations for several patients coming from various Libyan cities, as part of wider efforts to localise treatment within Libya and restore the activity of medical subspecialties.
This step, it continued, comes within the framework of the localisation project implemented by the DSDMS, with the support of the (Tripoli based) Prime Minister, with the aim of reducing the need for costly treatment abroad.
