Taiz Governorate Deputy Warns of Health Services Collapse
The First Deputy of Taiz Governorate, Abdul Qawi Al-Mikhlafi, warned of the risks of health services collapsing due to the challenges facing the health sector amid the ongoing siege imposed on the governorate.
During his meeting on Monday with the Director-General of the Public Health and Population Office, Fahd Al-Nathari, Al-Mikhlafi stressed the importance of the office fulfilling its responsibilities in ensuring the continued provision of medical and treatment services in various health facilities, despite the repercussions of the war and siege, and the targeting and violations against health facilities, ambulances, and civilians.
He directed the Health Office to prepare a comprehensive and documented report on the violations that have affected the health sector in the Al-Sahel and Al-Hujariyah districts, including the targeting of health facilities and the use of some as military barracks, considering this a violation of international laws and conventions that guarantee the protection of medical facilities and their personnel.
He commended the efforts made by the Health Office and medical staff to continue providing health services, stressing the importance of redoubling efforts, improving performance levels, and enhancing coordination among health authorities to ensure the continuity and quality of services and meet citizens' needs.
