Minister of Public Health and Population Dr. Qasem Buhybeh, met Friday with the Director of the Middle East and North Africa Division at the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria Lynn Sossy and the Director of Financing, Emmanuel Olatunji.

The two parties discussed enhancing cooperation and partnership in addressing the escalating health challenges in Yemen, expanding basic health services, and improving coordination with relevant government entities.

During the meeting, held on the sidelines of the World Health Organization's General Assembly in Geneva, the minister reviewed the health situation in Yemen due to the war waged by Houthi militias.

The Minister emphasized the importance of continued and increased support from the Global Fund, particularly in the areas of malaria and tuberculosis control, enhancing the health system's capabilities in infrastructure, supply chains, and human resources.

He stressed the need to shift from emergency response to building a more sustainable and comprehensive health system.

Representatives from the Global Fund expressed their full understanding of the unique health situation in Yemen, affirming their commitment to working collaboratively with the ministry to ensure the continuity of basic health services and achieve the maximum possible health impact amid the current challenges.
