KRCS inaugurates hospital in Taiz

ADEN: The Kuwait Red Crescent Society announced the opening of the Khaled Al-Saqer Model Hospital in Taiz governorate in Yemen, during the visit of a Kuwaiti Red Crescent delegation. The hospital, covering an area of 1,335 sq m and comprising two floors, will benefit around 12,000 Yemenis in the Jabal Habashi district as part of the ongoing “Kuwait by Your Side” campaign.

Fares Al-Maliki, the director of Jabal Habashi district, expressed sincere gratitude to Kuwait for their continuous support through projects that address the essential needs of Yemenis across various provinces. He emphasized that the hospital would bring hope and life to people who face challenges due to the distances from central hospitals in Taiz and the resulting pressure on these facilities. Maliki acknowledged the significant impact the project would have on healthcare services in the district.

Anwar Al-Hasawi, Deputy Chairman of the Kuwait Red Crescent Society, leading the visiting delegation, said Kuwait, along with its benefactors, is actively implementing numerous humanitarian and developmental projects in Yemen to improve living conditions and provide necessary medical care. He mentioned that these projects are designed to address the core needs of various segments of Yemeni society, aiming to alleviate their hardships.

Executive Director of “Response Foundation” Tareq Lakman, highlighted the importance of the project in enhancing healthcare infrastructure in the Jabal Habashi region and the entire Taiz Governorate. The hospital is expected to significantly improve healthcare services for patients and contribute to overall healthcare advancement in the area.

The visiting KRCS delegation, including Anwar Al-Hasawi, Abdulrahman Al-Awn, Shahab Al-Kharraz and Fawaz Al-Mazrooei, is set to inaugurate several development projects and monitor the progress of other initiatives in the governorates of Taiz, Shabwa, Hadramout and Marib. The delegation had previously inaugurated the equipped and integrated Yusuf and Nora Health Center in the Al-Masraakh district of Taiz on Saturday.
