Al-Rahi Begins Recovery Period in Bkirki after Successful Surgery

Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi was discharged from the hospital on Monday after undergoing a minor brain surgery over the weekend.

Al-Rahi returned to the patriarchal seat in Bkirki after recovering at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Notre Dame de Secours in Jbeil where he underwent a “successful” surgery on Friday to remove a blood clot in the head.

The patriarch was admitted on Thursday to the Eye and Ear Hospital in Naccache after feeling ill and then he was taken to the hospital in Jbeil.

Top officials visited al-Rahi, including a Hizbullah delegation and Army Intelligence chief Brig. Gen. Edmond Fadel, to check on his health.
