The two patients are among 45 patients with heart diseases nationwide who have been receiving free tests and heart operations under a program launched by the two medical facilities until August 28.
The patients, aged 15 and above, are policy beneficiaries, family members of national contributors, relatives of military servicemen, and needy patients.
As part of the program, the military hospital has already performed 12 heart surgeries.
This meaningful program is among a series of practical activities that celebrates the 45th founding anniversary of Military Hospital 175 (May 26, 1975-2020), marks the operation of its Traumatology-Orthopedics Institute, and improves local healthcare.
The program has been an encouragement for needy patients to overcome the disease.
