Foreign aid withdrawal endangers Yemeni health
This article discusses the deterioration of external funding for the healthcare sector in Yemen, which is becoming a real threat to the continued provision of vital health services in the country. Yemeni Minister of Health, Qasim BahiBih, warned that a sharp decline in international support is worsening the situation and jeopardizing the essential guarantees for health services. He called for the development of a transitional plan that reduces reliance on foreign aid and promotes financial independence for the health sector. The article emphasizes the importance of building local capacity to finance services and directing resources more efficiently, while also safeguarding the most vital services, especially as 40% of current healthcare facilities are weakened due to the war. It also discusses a new project supported by the World Bank, aimed at strengthening health, nutrition, and water services. However, it stresses that self-reliance is the sustainable solution to address the crisis, with organized community participation playing a role—not as a substitute for government responsibilities.
