The Emirates Red Crescent, ERC, launched a health unit and a motherhood and childhood centre in the Mawza district of the Taiz Governorate and supplied them with medicines and food supplements for children.

The launch of the unit and centre is part of the ERC’s support for the humanitarian, services and development sectors in Taiz Governorate and Yemen’s Red Sea Coast, to ease the suffering of Yemenis and provide health services to women and children.

Mohammed Al Junaibi, Head of the ERC’s Relief Aid Programme, stated that the launch of the unit and centre aims to provide health services for women and children and offer free medical services to over 700 families, which is the equivalent of 22,000 people in Mawza and neighbouring areas.

He added that the unit and centre were supplied with modern medical equipment and essential medicines, to treat all common diseases and epidemics in the district.
