The Yemeni Ministry of Heath and the Chinese government agreed last week to renew an agreement concerning health cooperation between the two countries.
According to the agreement, China would provide 153 doctors and staffers specialized in various medical fields.
The agreement will continue for two more years starting next January, and includes an assistance package of 400,000 Yuan for medical equipment and other facilities.
A joint Yemeni-Chinese committee is expected to hold a session to draft a number of new agreements in an effort to further consolidate cooperation between the Chinese and Yemeni medical establishments, and train Yemeni cadres to gain experience and pursue higher studies in specializations in various medical schools in China.
Many Yemeni graduates who have studied or worked in China will be given priority in future projects between the two countries.
Yemen’s Minister of Public Health, Dr. Mohamed Al-Nomi, signed the renewal agreement on behalf of Yemen, while Ambassador H.E. Mr. Gao Yusheng signed it on behalf of China.
The signing ceremony was also attended by Deputy Minister of Health Dr. Mohamed Al-Ra’ee and Dr. Abdukareem Shaiban, along with Mohamed Al-Shahari, General Manager of International Cooperation.
