Qatar Red Crescent (QRC), through its representative mission in Yemen, has launched a project to distribute medical equipment and supplies within a multi-sector humanitarian programme including four Yemeni cities, Taiz, Sana’a, Ibb and Hodeidah, at a total cost of QR340,000.
These medical supplies, funded by QRC, include ultrasound devices, pressure gauges, a medical microscope, blood test laboratory equipment, test tubes, birth equipment, patient waiting seats and other medical assistance that is planned to benefit approximately 83,000 patients in health centres.
These medical supplies are distributed to the Revolution Complex centre for the displaced in Sana’a, Bani Ali Center in Ibb governorate, Al-Shaheed Al-Durra Center in Jabal Habashi in Taiz and May 22nd center in Muzaffar Governorate, And Al Khokha center in Hodeidah province.
Director of the Martyr Mohammed Al-Durra Health Centre Dr. Ahmed Hashed praised QRC for its support to alleviate the suffering of the Yemeni people by providing such necessary medical equipment in the light of the current circumstances and the displacement of many people from cities to the countryside. He also praised QRC’s assistance to the poorest families of displaced and war-affected people in the Jabal Habashi Directorate, especially the vulnerable and marginalized groups of widows, orphans, poor, destitute and people with special needs.
Dr. Hashed explained that this project is the first of its kind in the field of health in this region since the beginning of the war, where no humanitarian organization has ever provided medical equipment there, hoping that the project is a good sign for the region. For their parts, directors of other health centres, parents, families and individuals benefiting from this project expressed their sincere thanks to the State of Qatar for providing vital assistance, especially to displaced people and patients under war and the difficult conditions experienced by Yemen, especially since most of these centres lacked services and medical equipment and some have not received any support for more than two years.
