Cairo [Egypt], October 9: Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has reassured the public regarding King Salman's health, state media reported on Tuesday, two days after the monarch underwent medical tests due to lung inflammation.
During a cabinet meeting, Mohammed also prayed to God to grant his father a speedy recovery and good and sound health, the Saudi Press Agency reported. In May, the crown prince cancelled a trip to Japan at short notice as his 88-year-old father received treatment for lung infection. Saudi King Salman has been plagued by health problems since he ascended to the throne at the age of 79.
The monarch has a pacemaker and surgeons have also removed his gall bladder. (dpa)
