King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief) has signed a cooperation agreement with the Somalia-based regional mission of the Jeddah-based Islamic Cooperation Organization (OIC) aimed at providing support for the Emergency and Rescue Unit of the Somalian Health Ministry, from which 821,250 individuals stand to benefit, it was reported here today.
The agreement, which was signed at the headquarters of KSrelief in Riyadh yesterday by Assistant Supervisor General of KSrelief for Operations and Programs Ahmed bin Ali Al-Baiz, aims at providing support for the emergency departments in government-run hospitals in Somalia.
Following the agreement, 15 fully equipped state-of-the-art ambulances will be delivered to the ministry of health in Somalia.
The project also aims at speeding up the response capacity and ability to rescue thousands in case of crisis, as well as to improve the performance of the Somalian government-run sector in general.
The agreement is part of the support extended by the Kingdom’s relief arm, KSrelief, to boost the medical sector in needy countries worldwide.
