The Minister of Health reviewed the ministry’s efforts in searching for funding and alternatives, noting that there is a great need for the World Bank’s continued support for the health sector in Yemen.

For their part, the World Bank team affirmed their continued support for the health sector and the search for funding to compensate for the current funding gap.
