Mocha, NewsYemen, Exclusive:
In one of the health centers in Mocha countryside, a group of patients was taking their turn in seeing the treating doctor, in a way that reflected the return of life to health facilities destroyed by the war of the Houthi militia.
In separate conversations with NewsYemen, the residents say that their areas previously lacked health centers, and this was burdening the poor and destitute families, as it required moving to Mocha, which is something that many families cannot do, given their difficult financial situation.
They add that the return of health centers to work in rural areas gave them the opportunity to obtain free medical care without the need to move to other cities.
The health services were completely collapsed about two years ago, as a result of being bombed by the Houthi militia, and that the Iranian militia looted its contents of equipment and medical devices.
However, the UAE Red Crescent and humanitarian organizations rehabilitated many centers destroyed by the militia war by coordinating with the Health Office.
A woman said, while she was in the pharmacy of the Shazliya Center to receive the medicines that were dispensed by the treating doctor, Hamdi al-Sharabi, that what we are getting now was impossible in the past.
She added that the presence of health centers gave people in rural areas hope to obtain medical care without bothering to search for it by going to other cities.
Some residents view that Dr. Jamila Zayed assuming the position of Director of the Health Bureau in Mokha had the most prominent role in reinstating many rural centers that had been idle for years.
They believe that "Zayed" has brought back the spirit to the health sector, which is a positive outlook that reflects the pioneering role that women in general play in society, and their ability to create success.
In the pharmacy of the Shazliya Center, its many shelves were filled with medicines, an image that expresses the spirit of honesty enjoyed by those in charge of that center.
The center and its staff receive support from the International Family Organization, and it is also responsible for supplying it with medicines to continue providing its services to about 400 families.
