Dr. Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al-Rabee'a, Saudi Minister of Health, has briefed U.S. University of Cornell professors and doctors at the university's educational hospital on his 20-year-long Siamese separation surgeries. During a lecture which was held at the university yesterday, Dr. Al-Rabee'a attributed the achievement to the vast support rendered by the government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud for this state-of-the-art surgery. He disclosed that so far the Saudi National Guard hospital in Riyadh has performed 28 operations, all successful, out of 62 applications from 16 countries.
