ADEN: Yemen’s Health Minister Qassem Bahaibah on Sunday expressed gratitude for Kuwait’s support to the Yemeni people in all domains, especially the medical sector. This came during Bahaibah’s inauguration of a Kuwait-funded medical camp for heart patients in the city of Mukalla in Hadramout governorate. He thanked the Kuwaiti donors who helped open this camp under the supervision of the Kuwait-based Rahma International Society as part of the ‘Kuwait by Your Side’ campaign.

He appreciated Rahma contributions for this camp and thanked HH the Amir of Kuwait and his government for such efforts. Bahaibah pointed out this camp is considered one of the most important medical camps, as it provides surgical services mainly for heart patients, alleviating financial burden from families in crisis.

Imad Abdel-Rahim, Vice President of the Yemen-based Altawasul for Human Development organization, which executed the project on behalf of Rahma Society, said the camp aims to carry out 40 operations on patients needing stent placements. The camp is run by cardiac surgery specialists using modern medical techniques at the Pulse of Life Center in Mukalla, he said. — KUNA
