Inside world's largest camel hospital in Saudi

Introducing: The world's largest camel hospital

Location: Buraydah, Saudi Arabia

Dozens of the Kingdom's beloved desert animals

are treated in enclosures and specialized wards

at the Salam Veterinary Hospital

Vets there tend to anything

from chronic and infectious diseases

to conditions requiring radiology or surgery

Local camel owners and traders are relieved

as they no longer have to travel for miles

to receive treatment for their animals

(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) CAMEL OWNER, OMAIR AL-QAHTANI, SAYING:

"Thank God, we are relieved, we found enough medication for camels here, of different kinds. As you can see, I found medicine for my camels here at the hospital that I could not find anywhere else. They also perform x-rays, medical analysis and are known for being fast."

The center opened in July 2020

with an investment of $36.5 mln
