Worrying questions are being raised about the fate of Kuwaiti support for the health sector in the capital, Aden, after information was circulated about the failure of the Ministry of Health and the Health Office to create conditions for operating an oxygen plant provided by the State of Kuwait, which forced Kuwait to transfer it outside of Aden.

The information also indicates that the Ministry of Health refused to provide the ground for building a cancer treatment hospital with Kuwaiti funding worth 3 million US dollars, which prompted Kuwait to transfer the project to another governorate.

This miserable failure raises questions about the feasibility of the presence of the Ministry of Health and the Health Office in the capital, Aden, especially in light of the worsening health crises in the governorate, the shortage of medicines, and the spread of infectious diseases.

The Ministry of Health and the Health Office are accused of facilitating the distribution of expired and beaten medicines, and of not exercising any control over private and government hospitals, which directly threatens the lives of citizens.

Citizens in the capital, Aden, demand that a comprehensive investigation be opened into these violations, that those responsible be held accountable, and that they be brought to justice.

Urgent questions are being raised about the fate of Kuwaiti support, and will the Ministry of Health and the Health Office be held accountable for wasting it? Will serious measures be taken to ensure access to health services for citizens in the capital, Aden?

These questions remain pending, awaiting answers from the competent authorities, while citizens in the capital, Aden, suffer from a severe lack of health services, and their lives are threatened.

In conclusion, these events spark widespread public anger, and citizens demand that those who are negligent be held accountable, that appropriate health services be provided, and that the medicines provided to patients be safe.

Will the competent authorities respond to citizens’ demands? Will the Ministry of Health and the Health Office reconsider their policy and provide decent health services to the people of Aden?
