Yemen's health needs include three main lists divided into medical equipment and devices, medicines, and medical supplies. These needs include ambulances, field hospital equipment, and dialysis machines, as well as medicines and materials used in operating rooms and healthcare centers.
Method of Collecting and Distributing Donations
Participating charitable organizations will collect financial donations through their approved links or purchase medical supplies locally and send them to the society. After approval from the Ministry of Social Affairs, the society will be responsible for purchasing, preparing, and transporting the donations and will coordinate bulk purchases to ensure the donations are utilized in the best possible way.
The donations will be transported in a convoy to the Saudi-Yemeni border to be delivered to the relevant Yemeni authorities. Al-Fawzan noted that this campaign has not set a specific target for fundraising and aims to collect the maximum amount of donations to address urgent health needs.
This society has implemented health and relief projects in Yemen from 2013 to 2017 in collaboration with the Kuwait Relief Society, which included the construction and equipping of clinics, health centers, and hospital wings, as well as providing ambulances and medical equipment.
