The unit will deal with lung and esophageal cancers, pleural diseases, tumors of the mediastinum, thorax, diaphragm problems, lung diseases, benign esophagus and chest injuries, in addition to surgeries and diagnostic and treatment services through pulmonary and gastroscopy endoscopy.

Dr Sami bin Sulaiman al Farsi, director general of the Royal Hospital, confirmed to ONA that the launch of the thoracic surgery unit represents one of the most ambitious plans to expand the services provided by the hospital.

“The unit targets various segments of society, especially since the hospital is one of the most important reference institutions in Oman,” he said.
