RIYADH: The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) has provided more than $1.7 million worth of medical aid and supplies to Cameroon to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.
Newly appointed Saudi ambassador to Cameroon Abdulelah bin Mohammed Al-Shuaibi presented the aid package to the country's Minister of Public Health, Manaouda Malachie, in Yaoundé.
The Minister of public health extended his gratitude to the Kingdom for their assistance in humanitarian aid and support to those in need in Cameroon.
The minister also went on to thank Saudi Arabia for their support worldwide especially during the difficult times of the global pandemic.
KSrelief assistance to Cameroon comes as a small part of the many initiatives led by the humanitarian center in limiting the spread of the virus globally.
Since its founding in 2015 the center has launched more than 1,550 projects in more than 59 countries, spending over $5 billion on global humanitarian aid.
The medical aid to countries in need comes as a direct mission of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to stand alongside countries that have been affected by global pandemic.
