Sana'a: Prime Minister Ahmed Ghaleb Al-Rahwi participated today in the opening of the 5th Scientific Conference of the Yemeni Association of ENT Doctors, and the first for the Department of ENT at the Faculty of Medicine, Sana'a University, which will run for two days.
According to Yemen News Agency, Al-Rahwi congratulated the organizers on holding the conference, describing it as a significant scientific event aligned with the vibrant research activity across Yemeni universities in 'Revolutionary Sana'a', the stronghold of steadfastness and unity. He praised the leadership of Sana'a University, the Faculty of Medicine, and the association, as well as all participating doctors, academics, and researchers from Yemen and abroad. The conference coincides with the 35th anniversary of Yemen's unity, which the Yemeni people recently celebrated, except for a few individuals who continue seeking division and a return to a past of conflict.
Al-Rahwi criticized the international community's double standards, pointing out that while some nations' unity is affirmed globally, efforts to fragment Yemen continue-a plan he stressed will not succeed. He referred to mass women-led protests in Aden, Abyan, and Hadramaut, demanding unity despite a decade of occupation by Saudi and Emirati forces, which he said failed to improve living conditions or maintain previous service levels.
On the situation in Gaza, Al-Rahwi condemned the war and massacres against children committed by the Israeli forces. He commended the resilience of the people of Gaza and denounced U.S. humanitarian aid as deceptive. He noted the drastic reduction in operational aid centers, with only four now serving 2 million people. Al-Rahwi reaffirmed Yemen's support for Gaza, led by Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr Al-Din Al-Houthi, warning that the recent Israeli airstrike on Sana'a International Airport would only strengthen Yemen's resolve to continue missile strikes until aggression stops.
He expressed hope that the conference would yield practical outcomes to improve local medical services, reducing the need for Yemenis to seek treatment abroad. Speeches by other officials, including Minister of Health and Environment Dr. Ali Sheiban, emphasized the conference's importance in advancing the medical specialty of ENT.
The conference aims to discuss papers and research on ear, nose, and throat diseases, enriching professional knowledge and improving clinical practices. The event was attended by numerous officials and medical professionals from various ministries and institutions.
