KSrelief signs deals to support physical rehabilitation centers in Yemen
Saudi Arabia:
The King Salman Humanitarian
Aid and Relief Center signed three joint agreements on Thursday to operate
prosthetic limbs and physical rehabilitation centers in Seiyun, Taiz, and Aden
in Yemen.
The agreements, which would benefit more than
8,000 patients, were signed by KSrelief's assistant supervisor general for
operations and programs, Ahmed bin Ali Al-Baiz, at the center’s headquarters in
Riyadh.
Abdullah Al-Moallem, director of KSrelief's health
and environmental aid department, said that under these agreements, the center
will provide physical rehabilitation services for people with special needs
along with follow-up appointments and coverage.
He said patients will be diagnosed at the centers
as a treatment plan will be identified for each patient on an individual basis.
The installation of prosthetic limbs along with functional rehabilitation
services will also be included.
Al-Moallem said the agreements also aim to improve
the capabilities of the medical and technical cadre in Yemen to reduce the
immigration of specialized medical and technical personnel.
