Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammed Bin Salman, “reassured everyone” about the health of King Salman during a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Anadolu Agency reports.

“His Highness, the Crown Prince reassures everyone about the health of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and expresses gratitude to all who inquired about his well-being,” the state news agency, SPA, reported.

It came two days after the Saudi Royal Court announced on Sunday that the King will undergo medical tests for a lung inflammation.

In May 2022, the Monarch was hospitalised for a colonoscopy and other medical tests. He also underwent a gallbladder removal surgery in 2020.

King Salman has ruled Saudi Arabia since 2015 after spending two and a half years as a Crown Prince.
