The Yemeni Minister of Public Health and Population Dr Nasser Baoum said the medical assistance will contribute to the rehabilitation of government hospitals and support medical efforts in the eradication of cholera in Yemen.
This follows a SPA report the previous day that the Center distributed 17,174 food baskets in the governorate of Al-Baida in Yemen, and 20,900 food baskets to a number of directorates in the governorate of Maareb.
This is part of over 133 relief projects implemented by the Riyadh-based Center in Yemen in conjunction with 83 local, regional and international providers.
During Ramadhan, SPA noted that the Center provided 550 tons of medicines and medical supplies for cholera control, while allocating US$8 million for the same purpose and US$66.7 million under the directive of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Deputy PM and Minister of Defense, KSA, to support efforts for combating cholera in Yemen.
