The prosthetic limb and physical rehabilitation center in Taiz governorate, Yemen, is continuing to provide medical services through the support of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center.

It provided 1,601 services for 666 people in one month, including the manufacture, fitting, delivery, and maintenance of prosthetic limbs for 396 patients, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

It also provided other treatments for 270 patients, including physical therapy and consultation sessions.

The services come as part of the Kingdom’s efforts, represented by KSrelief, to improve the capacities of the health sector in Yemen.
