TUNIS — The Supervisor General of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief), Dr. Abdullah Al Rabeeah, inaugurated a new oxygen generation station at Taher Sfar University Hospital in Mahdia, Tunisia, in a project fully funded by Saudi Arabia.

Dr. Al Rabeeah explained that the plant has a production capacity of 80 cubic meters per hour, significantly enhancing the hospital’s ability to care for patients, particularly in emergency cases requiring high volumes of medical oxygen.

The project includes a medical oxygen production unit, an industrial refrigeration unit, and a storage and distribution unit, all aimed at improving healthcare delivery at Taher Sfar Hospital and other hospitals across Mahdia Governorate.

The inauguration is part of a broader effort to strengthen cooperation between Saudi Arabia and Tunisia in humanitarian and relief sectors. Dr. Al Rabeeah’s visit also included the launch of a volunteer program to provide cochlear implants and auditory rehabilitation for Tunisian children.
