King Salman undergoes medical tests for lung condition

  • Arabic

Saudi Arabia's King Salman underwent medical tests for a lung condition on Sunday on the recommendation of the Royal Clinics, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

In May, the king also had a lung infection, as well as fever and joint pain, the royal court reported. After having tests at the Royal Clinics at Al Salam Palace in Jeddah that month, the medical team advised that King Salman undertake a programme of treatment and antibiotics until the infection cleared.

King Salman led a cabinet meeting on September 27, where he reviewed the establishment of private colleges. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman took the meeting on October 1.

A month before that, King Salman was admitted to the King Faisal Specialist Hospital in Jeddah for a routine check-up.

In May 2022, he was admitted to the same hospital to undergo a colonoscopy and the “result was sound”, the SPA reported. In March 2022, the king was admitted to hospital for medical tests and doctors changed the batteries in his pacemaker.

In July 2020, King Salman had an operation to remove his gall bladder after an inflammation. The monarch, 88, has been on the throne since 2015. Prince Mohammed, 38, was named Crown Prince in 2017.

Ziina users can donate to relief efforts in Beirut

Ziina users will be able to use the app to help relief efforts in Beirut, which has been left reeling after an August blast caused an estimated $15 billion in damage and left thousands homeless. Ziina has partnered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to raise money for the Lebanese capital, co-founder Faisal Toukan says. “As of October 1, the UNHCR has the first certified badge on Ziina and is automatically part of user's top friends' list during this campaign. Users can now donate any amount to the Beirut relief with two clicks. The money raised will go towards rebuilding houses for the families that were impacted by the explosion.”
