The Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen (SDRPY) laid the foundation stone on Tuesday for the Sabah Hospital project in the Sabah District of Yemen’s Abyan Governorate.

The project is part of the SDRPY’s initiatives to support the health sector and aims to boost healthcare services across Yemeni governorates.

The hospital will include several facilities, such as departments for women and childbirth, maternity and childcare, inpatient rooms, operating rooms, and emergency services.

It will also feature various clinics, including internal medicine, dental, and ENT (ear, nose, and throat) clinics, as well as radiology and laboratory rooms.

The hospital will be equipped with laboratory, radiology, and sterilization equipment, and devices for surgical operations.

The SDRPY has worked to improve and bolster the efficiency of healthcare facilities by constructing and equipping hospitals and health centers, as well as operating them.

It has carried out over 34 projects and initiatives to support the health sector that have benefitted over 4.4 million people.

The SDRPY has implemented over 229 developmental projects and initiatives across eight vital sectors, including education, health, water, energy, transportation, agriculture and fisheries, across Yemen.

Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi welcomed on Wednesday the agreement between the legitimate Yemeni government and Iran-backed Houthi militias to de-escalate the situation with regard to the Yemeni banking sector and airlines.

The agreement was announced by the United Nations Secretary-General's Special Envoy to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, on Tuesday.

Albudaiwi expressed the GCC's support for all regional and international efforts and the efforts led by the UN special envoy aimed at achieving peace and security in Yemen.

The announcement underscores the importance the international community attaches to the Yemeni crisis, he added, hoping the agreement will pave the way for Yemeni parties to start the political process, under UN auspices, to reach a comprehensive political solution that achieves security and stability in the country.

He reiterated the GCC's continued support and full solidarity with Yemen, its government and people, and its keenness to encourage all efforts to de-escalate and maintain stability in order to reach peace.
