Tawakkol Karman Foundation

Medical facilities in the war-torn city of Taiz are subject to frequent attacks that cause severe damage to their facilities and has disrupted their services. Moreover, doctors and facility workers are subject to murder, kidnapping, enforced disappearance, and intimidation by armed groups. And with the arrival of Covid-19, the city calls for urgent interventions to alleviate people’s suffering.

Amongst the Tawakkol Karman Foundation’s humanitarian projects in Taiz, we responded to Al-Jumhuri Hospital's call to provide it with a car that can transport oxygen cylinders to the hospital so that patients do not have to wait for days to get them.

This project is part of health projects implemented by the TKF in Taiz city, the last of which provided beds for care rooms and the isolation center in Al-Jumhuri Hospital. In addition to providing cash assistance to patients with kidney failure in the hospital. On their part, the Al-Jumhuri Hospital director, staff, and patients showed tremendous appreciation and sincere gratitude to the TKF and those in charge of it for their quick response to the need of the hospital that will alleviate the suffering of patients, saving their lives.
