RIYADH: The Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen has signed an agreement with Yemen’s Social Fund for Development to implement nine health and education projects across several governorates.
The agreement, finalized on Sunday, follows last week’s announcement of a range of initiatives aimed at supporting vital services and strengthening Yemeni state institutions.
The deal was signed by SDRPY General Supervisor Ambassador Mohammed bin Saeed Al-Jaber and Social Fund Executive Director Hossam Qaid, in the presence of Yemen’s ministers of public health, education, and planning and international cooperation, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
Four healthcare projects will be delivered in Lahj, Taiz and Al-Dhale’a, including the construction of rural hospitals in Al-Mawasit in Taiz and in Al-Dhale’a, alongside maternal and child health facilities and an obstetric emergency center in Ras Al-Ara, Lahj.
The facilities will provide services including emergency care, inpatient treatment, maternity services, laboratories and radiology.
