Charitable Society for Social Welfare Yemen Health clinic development in Yemen

Years of bloody civil war in Yemen, followed by famine and epidemics, have created one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. The situation in the health sector is particularly critical. Women and their children are at extreme risk of infection from poor sanitation, which significantly increases the risk of maternal mortality. The project, supported by the Hungary Helps Program, aims to improve the obstetrics and gynaecology unit in the Kharaz refugee camp, which is home to nearly 25 000 people. The project involved the demolition, reconstruction and equipping of an existing obstetrics and gynaecology clinic in the camp, which was in a very poor state of repair. The new maternity unit will provide an adequate and dignified level of health care for both the refugees and the local population.
