4 September 2022 – The World Health Organization (WHO) has launched a 12-months project to sustain the delivery of life-saving emergency health services for the most vulnerable in conflict-affected zones across Yemen thanks to a €2.5 million contribution from the European Union.

This partnership aims to directly assist more than 152,000 Yemenis, including 33,000 children and 30,500 internally displaced people. 17 hospitals across Yemen will receive support in four main areas of humanitarian health service delivery: trauma care and emergency care referral services; mental health and psychosocial support; strengthening of the national health information management system and early response to outbreaks.
