Doctors at the Tripoli University Hospital have succeeded in removing a bullet from the head of a nine-year-old child who was injured during a social event, despite the orders banning such events on the background of the Coronavirus outbreak.
The hospital stated that the bullet pierced the child's head hitting a sensitive area and almost took his life.
The child was transferred to the hospital where he was rushed to the operating theater to undergo an urgent operation to have the bullet removed.
The operation which lasted more than an hour was conducted by the head of the Neurosurgery and Spine Department consultant, Faisal Bin Talib.
Dr. Bin Talib confirmed that the child is recovering well and has been moved out of the intensive care unit, noting that he is receiving full care and might be discharged from the hospital soon.
