Member of the Supreme Political Council, Ahmed Ghaleb Al-Rahwi, affirmed on Thursday that Yemen, during recent periods, witnessed a quantum leap and a real renaissance in the specialized medical field.
Al-Rahwi indicated, at the opening of the first medical conference on cardiac catheterization and interventional radiology, which is organized - over two days - by Al-Yemen Al-Saeed Hospital, that Yemen has a selection of the best doctors who are able to perform complex and difficult operations in various medical specialties.
He considered the medical conference part of the scientific activities and conferences held by the Ministries of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Public Health and Population, and some hospitals to improve the health situation in Yemen, confirming that the development taking place today in the medical field obviates the need to travel abroad.
Al-Rahwi emphasized the need to monitor and evaluate the performance of hospitals and the mechanisms used to ensure the improvement of the quality of services provided to citizens, and to avoid medical errors.
In turn, the Prime Minister, Dr. Abdulaziz bin Habtoor, stressed the importance of the conference in giving an additional impetus to medical work, given its topic and the participants from all provinces of the Republic.
He pointed out that doctors played a very important role in the Supreme Political Council-controlled provinces, in which the citizens suffered from the effects of the aggression, just as the citizens in the provinces under occupation suffered as a result of the insecurity, chaos, and lack of basic services.
Dr. Bin Habtoor pointed out that Yemen is approaching the stage of peace that Saudi Arabia and the UAE need more than Yemen, especially as they draw up their economic and development plans, stressing that "the state of no peace and no war is no longer acceptable to Sana'a at all."
In his speech, the Prime Minister touched on the consultative meeting, which is scheduled to be held today in the city of Aden. In this regard, he advised those in charge of this meeting and the participants in it, saying: "The story of separation is not the solution, but unity."
The Prime Minister expressed his confidence that separation could not take place even if a thousand meetings were held, because the problem lies in separation and the solution in unity.
Over two days, the conference will discuss a number of scientific and research working papers in the fields of cardiac catheterization, methods of treating acute heart attacks and angina pectoris, chronic cases of atherosclerosis, methods of expanding heart valves, and methods of digital and tomographic imaging of the brain and peripheral arteries.
