Aden: $450,000 Device Blocked
Cancer patients in Yemen suffer from the lack of a PET/CT scanner, which is essential for determining the extent of tumor spread before and after treatment. The cost of the scan starts at around one hundred dollars and requires traveling to neighboring countries, often Egypt, due to its absence in Yemen, with travel expenses exceeding thousands of dollars, placing a heavy burden on patients and their families. The purchase price of this equipment is estimated at approximately $450,000; it is assumed that this amount could be used to acquire several machines. However, the obstacles preventing its availability raise questions about underlying interests, emphasizing that the failure to provide it harms patients' health and safety and undermines efforts to treat cancer in Yemen.
