In December 2024, the World Health Organization (WHO) held in a three-day workshop in Aden to strengthen Yemen’s notification and information-sharing capacities for acute public health events in Yemen. Against the backdrop of Yemen’s protracted conflict and fragile health system, the event marked a pivotal step in bolstering the country’s ability to respond to public health emergencies.

"This workshop is a turning point for Yemen's health security,” said Dr Abdullah Dahan the vice minister, at the opening of the workshop.
