A medical team at Al-Kafeel Super Speciality Hospital of the al-Abbas's (p) Holy Shrine succeeded in cochlear implantation for a hearing-impaired patient, revealing efforts to make the hospital a pioneer in these operations at the level of Iraq and the region.

The specialist in ear, nose and throat surgery at the hospital, the Lebanese doctor, Dr. Hisham al-Moussawi, said, "Our medical team recently succeeded in cochlear implantation for a hearing-impaired patient," explaining that "the techniques available in the hospital helped us achieve success with this specific and distinctive operation."
