Saudi Arabia, through its King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), launched a new package of specialized health services in the city of Seiyun, Hadramout Governorate, for women and their families under the “Bidaya” (Beginning) project, implemented by the Al-Amal Women’s Cultural and Social Foundation.
The project provides free medical consultations, diagnostic tests, and essential medicines, as well as awareness sessions on disease prevention, vaccination campaigns for unvaccinated children, and reproductive and mental health services. It covers about 180 cases across primary, physical, and psychological care.
Amer Al-Amri, Deputy Governor of Hadramout for the Valley and Desert Affairs, described the initiative as “a key contribution to strengthening healthcare services in remote areas.”
Alongside its humanitarian efforts, KSrelief recently distributed vocational toolkits to 650 women as part of its Professional Empowerment Project in the governorates of Marib, Hadramout, Lahj, Al-Mahrah, Shabwa, Taiz and Socotra.
According to KSrelief, Saudi Arabia has implemented hundreds of projects in Yemen in recent years, covering sectors such as health, education, food security, water, women’s empowerment, and psychosocial support.
