Na'im undergoes minor surgery to remove salivary gland

 

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Mohd Na’im Mokhtar underwent a minor surgical procedure to remove a salivary gland containing stones today.

Na’im, through posts on Facebook and X, said the procedure was scheduled for 8am.

“The doctor has decided to remove one of the salivary glands to address the pain I have been experiencing throughout this week,” he said, requesting prayers for the surgery to go smoothly and for his recovery.

Salivary glands produce saliva, which moistens food to make it easy to swallow and contains enzymes (proteins) to help break down food so it is easier to digest.

Na’im also urged the public to increase their religious deeds on the occasion of Nuzul al-Quran today.

“Let us intensify our religious deeds, particularly charity and donations, especially to our brothers and sisters in Palestine. May Allah SWT protect and safeguard them from continued aggression and killings by the Israeli regime,” he said.
