12/20/23, 1:51 PM Saudi German Hospital Aseer Rescues Diabetic Patient's Leg From Amputation | MENAFN.COM
Since his discharge from Saudi German Hospital Aseer, the patient has been relying on
homecare services for ongoing medical support.

Diabetic foot affects up to 34% of diabetic patients. Diabetic foot arises from the detrimental

effects of elevated blood sugar levels on peripheral blood vessels and nerves, leading to poor
blood supply to the foot and delayed wound healing. In severe cases, this condition could

potentially necessitate amputation.
