The Supreme Medical Committee in Sana’a confirmed that it was agreed between the ministries of health, foreign affairs and transportation to allocate 50% of flight seats within the armistice agreement for patients.
The head of the committee, Dr. Mutahar Al-Darwish in media statements said ” The 16 trips within the armistice mechanism represent one in a thousand of the actual need for patients registered in the statements of the Higher Medical Committee.”
He added” The number of those who need to travel abroad and listed with the committee is thirty thousand, and thousands of others are registered with the medical centers in the capital, Sana’a, and the other governorates.”
He called on the World Health Organization to revive the medical bridge and take advantage of the positive atmosphere of the truce due to the inability of many patients to bear the expenses of travel and treatment.
