The Head of Dialysis Center at the Hospital Dr. Adel Al- Hagami clarified.

He confirmed that the Center may not continue its operations during 48 hours in case the Organizations did not supply the Center with medicine and solutions required for the dialysis sessions.
The Chairman of Al-Shafaka Foundation, Wathek Sultan Al-Quershi, appeals World Health Organization, ICRC, MSF and all other local and international healthy and humanitarian Organizations as well as merchants and all people to assist the Center and save the lives of the persons affected with kidney failure at the hospital and other Dialysis Centers.
Al-Quershi also indicated that the Center stoppage puts the lives of more than 200 kidney failure patients at early complications and sudden death. Furthermore, the patients could not do the dialysis sessions at private hospital due to its highest costs.
