Voluntary Medical Program Kicks off at Prince Mohammed bin Salman Hospital in Aden

The voluntary medical program for pediatric, urological, and women's and maternity surgeries has commenced at the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Hospital in Aden.
The initiative is being carried out by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) and the Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen (SDRPY), with the involvement of skilled medical cadres from within Saudi Arabia.
The program, initiated in April, covers a range of medical specialties such as pediatric heart and catheterization surgeries, procedures for ear, nose, and throat conditions, open-heart surgeries, brain and nerve surgeries, cosmetic procedures, burn treatments, and deformity corrections.
Its primary objective is to address the humanitarian healthcare needs in these areas across all governorates of Yemen.
The Prince Mohammed bin Salman Hospital in Aden hosts this extensive medical program, demonstrating its advanced level of preparedness and capabilities under SDRPY. From January 2023 to August 2024, the hospital conducted over 1.8 million medical consultations.
The 20,000-square-meter hospital has 270 beds and 14 specialized clinics, including a cardiac centre. It is equipped with state-of-the-art medical equipment.
SDRPY has undertaken various projects and initiatives to bolster the healthcare sector in Yemen, including the construction, equipping, rehabilitation, and operation of hospitals and medical facilities, as well as the enhancement of medical staff skills.
The program's efforts align with its comprehensive developmental support across eight crucial sectors: education, energy, transportation, water, agriculture and fisheries, development programs, and the reinforcement of governmental capacities.
