RAF provides treatment for cancer patients in Yemen

Sheikh Thani Bin Abdullah Foundation for Humanitarian Services (RAF) has carried out a six-month-long healthcare programme in Yemen’s various provinces, including provision of treatment for 286 cancer patients, 38% of whom are enrolled officially at the National Centre for the treatment of tumours in Yemen.
In a statement today, RAF said that the programme, which was implemented in collaboration with a number of partners in Yemen contributed to saving the patients’ lives by enabling them to return to their normal lives and earn a living to support their families.
The statement emphasised that the programme had achieved great success in the provision of treatment for the needy despite the exceptional situation experienced by Yemen.
Meanwhile, two aircraft carrying 50tonnes of medicines and medical supplies arrived in Sanaa international airport, the World health Organisation (WHO) said yesterday.
