Saudi Arabia and WHO Partner to Treat Yemeni Children

The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have signed a joint executive program aimed at providing essential medical and therapeutic support to children suffering from severe acute malnutrition in Yemen. The agreement was finalized on the sidelines of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

According to the participating organizations, the program involves the procurement and distribution of therapeutic response packages specifically designed for children. These supplies will be deployed across 35 healthcare centers located throughout various regions of Yemen. This initiative is part of an ongoing commitment by both the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the WHO to strengthen their collaborative efforts in addressing urgent health and humanitarian needs in countries experiencing significant living and health challenges.

The program is primarily designed to secure the delivery of vital medications and essential medical equipment, alongside providing specialized treatment for cases of acute malnutrition. By bolstering the capacity of the targeted health centers, the project aims to improve the response to emergency medical situations and alleviate the healthcare burden on affected families.

This executive program serves as an extension of the broader humanitarian efforts led by Saudi Arabia through the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre. These efforts focus on supporting international organizations, particularly in health sectors that require urgent global intervention. The initiative is intended to ensure the continuity of medical services for the most vulnerable children in areas currently lacking basic resources due to persistent humanitarian conditions.
