MORONI: The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center on Sunday delivered medical aid to Comoros to help it fight coronavirus, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
The Saudi ambassador to Comoros, Dr. Atallah Zayed Al-Zayed, delivered the aid on behalf of KSrelief to Loub Yakout Zaïdou, the Comorian health minister, in the capital Moroni.
Al-Zayed said the aid was sent to Comoros in line with the directives of King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to support the country in its fight against the pandemic.
Saudi Arabia has recently sent medical supplies to Tunisia, Malaysia and Algeria, as well as other countries that are currently fighting new outbreaks and variants. The medical assistance is part of the aid provided by the Kingdom, represented by the center, to support global efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19.
Meanwhile, the National Malaria Control Program in Yemen’s Lahij governorate distributed medicine and special equipment for treating and inspecting malaria and dengue to several health facilities in the governorate.
The assistance is financed by KSrelief and is under the supervision of the World Health Organization.
The program director in Lahij, Adel Al-Sayyed, said: “The program, since last March until today, has provided several health facilities with various amounts of malaria medicine, in addition to malaria and dengue rapid test devices provided by KSrelief free of charge for all health facilities in the governorate.”
