Iraqi girl with rare condition in hospital

An Iraqi girl suffering from a rare disease of bleeding eyes, nose, legs and teeth, is receiving specialized treatment at King Abdullah Medical City in Makkah on the instruction of Health Minister Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeeah.
The medical city has allocated a special room for the girl named Fatma and conducted a number of medical tests on her to know the reason for the bleeding, press reports said.
According to Okaz Arabic daily, a team of specialists is taking care of the girl. “I am very happy for being admitted to this hospital and I am hopeful doctors would be able to find a cure for this disease,” she said.
Dr. Hassan Bakhamis, director of King Abdullah Medical City, said the girl has been admitted to the hospital’s clinic for blood diseases.
Fatma’s father thanked Al-Rabeeah for providing treatment to his daughter at King Abdullah Medical City. “Our daughter came to Makkah two months ago and has been staying in the vicinity of Haram. We gave her Zamzam water as well as spiritual healing with the support of clerics at the Haram in the hope of cure,” the father said.
