RIYADH: The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center has delivered a range of medical supplies to the Yemeni Ministry of Health’s office in Hadhramaut.
The move aims to enhance the readiness of health facilities and strengthen their capacity to respond swiftly and effectively to cholera cases, Saudi Press Agency reported.
The support comes as part of the Emergency Cholera Response Project in Yemen.
Saleh Al-Omqi, Hadhramaut council secretary-general, appreciated the Kingdom’s urgent humanitarian intervention, noting that it contributes to containing the cholera outbreak and limiting its spread in the targeted areas.
He stressed that this support goes beyond the delivery of medical supplies, representing an integrated package to enhance the operational readiness of health facilities.
The project targets areas most affected by the outbreak and aims to reduce infection rates and curb the spread of cholera through preventive measures.
These include the establishment of specialized medical teams to screen and monitor travelers at air and land ports in several governorates, including Aden and Hadhramaut, benefiting 1.153 million individuals.
