DUBAI: The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) has announced a series of new health initiatives spanning Yemen, Djibouti, and global disease prevention partnerships, according to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
In Riyadh, KSrelief signed an agreement with a civil society organization on Wednesday to establish an integrated dialysis center within Al-Jahi Hospital in Daw'an district of Yemen’s Hadhramaut governorate.
The new facility will provide treatment for patients suffering from chronic kidney failure, a service which is widely unavailable in the region. The project aims to improve the quality of life for patients, while strengthening Yemen’s strained healthcare system.
Meanwhile, in Djibouti, KSrelief launched a medical support project to supply the country’s Ministry of Health with essential medicines and equipment. The shipment included blood pressure medication, anti-nausea drugs, fever reducers, and critical medical supplies such as endotracheal tubes and arm slings.
Djibouti’s Minister of Health, Dr. Ahmed Robleh Abdilleh, expressed gratitude to Saudi Arabia for its “generous support and high-quality assistance” in bolstering his country’s health sector according to SPA.
