DUBAI: The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) has announced a series of new health initiatives spanning Yemen, Djibouti, and global disease prevention partnerships, according to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA). 
In Riyadh, KSrelief signed an agreement with a civil society organization on Wednesday to establish an integrated dialysis center within Al-Jahi Hospital in Daw'an district of Yemen’s Hadhramaut governorate. 
The new facility will provide treatment for patients suffering from chronic kidney failure, a service which is widely unavailable in the region. The project aims to improve the quality of life for patients, while strengthening Yemen’s strained healthcare system.
Meanwhile, in Djibouti, KSrelief launched a medical support project to supply the country’s Ministry of Health with essential medicines and equipment. The shipment included blood pressure medication, anti-nausea drugs, fever reducers, and critical medical supplies such as endotracheal tubes and arm slings.
Djibouti’s Minister of Health, Dr. Ahmed Robleh Abdilleh, expressed gratitude to for its “generous support and high-quality assistance” in bolstering his country’s health sector according to SPA. 
KSrelief also hosted Peter Sands, Executive Director of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, at its headquarters in Riyadh. The meeting, led by KSrelief Senior Advisor for Medical and Humanitarian Research Dr. Ziyad bin Ahmed Memish, explored strategies to combat the spread of infectious diseases worldwide. Sands commended KSrelief’s contributions, praising its funding of health projects and efforts to raise awareness of epidemics threatening global health.
