Medical supplies delivered to Hadhramaut

RIYADH: The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center has delivered a range of medical supplies to the office of Yemen’s Ministry of Public Health and Population on the Hadhramaut coast.

According to the Saudi Press Agency, the assistance will enhance the readiness of health facilities to combat the cholera outbreak in the region, as part of the Emergency Response Project for Cholera in Yemen.

Saleh Al-Omqi, Hadhramaut local council secretary-general, expressed his appreciation for the center’s efforts to contain the cholera outbreak, contributing to improving the operational readiness of health facilities.

He also praised Saudi Arabia for its continued support in strengthening the resilience of the health system in the face of epidemic crises.

The project targets the most affected areas to reduce infection rates and limit the spread of cholera through specialized medical teams responsible for monitoring travelers at land and air entry points in several governorates, including Aden and Hadhramaut, benefiting approximately 1.15 million people.

The initiative reflects the Kingdom’s ongoing commitment, through its humanitarian arm KSrelief, to strengthening healthcare measures and combat the cholera epidemic.
