RIYADH - SABA
Minister of Health and Population Dr. Qasim Buhaybeh discussed today with US Ambassador to Yemen Steven Fagin and Country Director of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Kevin Dean enhancing bilateral cooperation in the health sector.

The Minister took stock of the health sector's situation and the challenges it faces, in addition to the Ministry's efforts to restore health centers and hospitals in the liberated governorates, pointing to the importance of US support in joint health projects supported by the United States Agency for International Development, which contributed to the development and continuity of health services provided to citizens.

The Minister indicated that the scarcity of resources and the decline in international support for the health sector during the past period prompted the Ministry to search for sustainable self-financing sources to contribute to bridging the gap in basic needs for the health sector.

For his part, the US Ambassador reaffirmed his country's continued support for the health sector, pointing to the US Agency's efforts in implementing many health projects in the governorates, which had a great impact on the population.
