Minister of Health: Kidney transplantation operations resumed at Al-Thawra Hospital in Sana’a

Minister of Public Health and Population Dr. Taha al-Mutawakel announced the resumption of kidney transplantation operations at the Kidney Transplant Center at the Al-Thawra General Hospital Authority in Sana’a.

During the inauguration of a kidney transplant operation, Dr. Al-Mutawakil explained that two successful kidney transplants were performed at the end of 2019, but the operations were stopped due to the global corona pandemic, and the lack of medicines for kidney patients, and also their unavailability as a result of the aggression and siege.

He considered the resumption of kidney transplantation a positive step, confirming that 100 cases have been prepared in the kidney transplant center in the hospital, and the Ministry of Health will work in cooperation with the General Authority for Zakat to bear the costs of kidney transplantation.
