RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s aid agency KSrelief signed a cooperation agreement on Wednesday with the Patients Helping Fund Organization in Sudan to provide essential medical equipment to the country’s children’s hospitals.
Ahmed Al-Baiz, KSrelief’s assistant supervisor-general of operations and programs, and Kamal Yaqoub Mohamed, director-general of the fund, signed the agreement in Riyadh, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
The aim is to reduce mortality rates in the Kassala and El-Obeid hospitals.
The new equipment will directly benefit 100,000 individuals and another 100,000 indirect beneficiaries.
The agreement is part of the Kingdom’s ongoing efforts, led by KSrelief, to support Sudan’s health sector.
