These brought the total number of the kidney transplants he carried out this year to 17.

He said that three brothers and a mother donated their kidneys to the patients whom he treated during this visit.

One of the operations was a replacement of a kidney transplanted 12 years ago, noting this is the first time such an operation happens in Gaza.

During his visits, Masoud carried out other operations and examined patients placing them on a waiting list for next year.
