1/17/24, 1:39 PM Saudi German Hospital Madinah successfully treats quadriplegic patient after palm tree fall

Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the Saudi Red Crescent Authority (SRCA) promptly transferred
the patient to Saudi German Hospital Madinah.

Upon examination, the medical team identified quadriplegia, characterized by a substantial loss of
power, motion, and sensation in all limbs, along with a partial spinal cord injury.

The critical surgery was skillfully conducted by spine surgeon Dr. Anwar Elwan. Remarkably, the patient
showed significant progress in the first three days of recovery. Currently, he is undergoing post-operative
physiotherapy and has already regained the ability to walk independently.

Known for its state-of-the-art facilities, cutting-edge technology, and highly experienced medical

professionals, Saudi German Hospital Madinah has demonstrated its capacity to handle complex
orthopedic conditions.
