At 42 years old, a woman had been silently suffering. She endured months of intense, irregular vaginal bleeding and persistent lower abdominal pain that left her drained physically and emotionally. The constant discomfort, combined with severe anemia caused by blood loss, had taken a toll on her daily life. Despite visiting multiple hospitals, she found no lasting solution until she arrived at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam.
Under the expert care of Dr. Mohammed Maher, Consultant in Obstetrics and Gynecology, her case was approached with compassion and precision. Comprehensive testing, including ultrasound and MRI scans, revealed the full picture: multiple fibroids in the uterus and a large ovarian mass measuring 15 by 17 centimeters a growth so significant it extended deep into her pelvic cavity.
Before anything else, the team focused on stabilizing her condition by treating the severe anemia. A biopsy was also performed to rule out cancer, and thankfully, the results confirmed the tumors were benign.
Once her health allowed, Dr. Maher led a complex but carefully planned surgery to remove the uterus, both ovaries, and fallopian tubes along with the massive tumor through an abdominal incision. The operation went smoothly and without complications. Just days later, she left the hospital not only in stable condition, but with a sense of relief she hadn’t felt in months.
This is more than a story about surgery. It’s a story of a woman reclaiming her quality of life, of fears put to rest, and of a dedicated medical team that stood by her every step of the way.
At Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam, stories like this reflect our ongoing commitment to advanced care, delivered with both expertise and empathy supported by world-class technology and a deeply human approach to healing.
The Cardiac Surgery team at Mouwasat Hospital in Riyadh has achieved a remarkable success story, performing a highly complex and high-risk procedure on a patient in his sixties.
The patient arrived at the Emergency Department in critical condition, struggling with severe shortness of breath and lung congestion. Further evaluation revealed advanced weakness of the heart muscle, multiple blockages in the coronary arteries, and significant narrowing of both carotid arteries, reaching up to 90%.
Faced with these life-threatening challenges, a multidisciplinary team of cardiac surgeons, vascular surgeons, anesthesiologists, and intensive care specialists came together to carefully assess the case. After thoroughly explaining the condition and treatment options, the patient gave his consent to proceed with urgent surgery.
The operation included coronary artery bypass grafting along with a right carotid endarterectomy to restore blood flow and lower the risk of stroke. With God’s grace and the skill of the medical team, the patient recovered immediately after surgery without complications. Within just seven days, he was discharged in stable health and able to return to his normal life.
This successful outcome not only highlights the expertise and dedication of the medical staff but also reflects Mouwasat’s commitment to providing advanced, patient-centered care. By combining the latest medical technologies with highly specialized expertise, the hospital continues to deliver hope and healing in the most critical situations.
In an urgent response to a critical emergency, the medical team at the Emergency Department of Al Mouwasat Hospital in Madinah received a patient in his fifties who had been transferred urgently from another hospital to save his life after being diagnosed with massive clots in the pulmonary arteries, which caused a complete blockage. This led to respiratory failure, a severe drop in oxygen levels, and loss of consciousness.
According to the protocols followed at Al Mouwasat Hospital in Madinah, immediate coordination took place among the medical teams, and the patient was swiftly transferred to the Interventional Catheterization Unit, where a delicate procedure was performed to remove the life-threatening pulmonary clots via catheterization. The procedure was led by Dr. Rayan Halawani – Consultant of Interventional Radiology, in collaboration with the anesthesia team, and was completed in less than an hour.
Thanks to Allah and the expertise of the medical team, the patient’s vital signs improved immediately after the procedure. He was then transferred to the Cardiac Care Unit to continue his treatment under the supervision of a Consultant of Cardiology and Vascular Medicine, until he fully recovered and was discharged in good health to resume his normal life.
This case is yet another clear example of the medical excellence and multidisciplinary collaboration at Al Mouwasat Hospital, reaffirming the hospital’s readiness to manage critical and life-saving cases with the highest standards of quality and speed—making a real difference in patients’ lives.
