QRCS, Qatar Charity Partner to Serve Cardiac Patients in Yemen

Doha: In partnership with Qatar Charity, Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) continues to support the Cardiovascular Center in Taiz, Yemen, by providing medications, medical supplies, and consumables and having 330 cardiac catheterizations performed so far, out of a target of 404 catheterizations free of charge. Deputy Medical Director of the center, Dr. Osama Mohamed Al Hilali said, "The Cardiac Catheterization Department was established by joint efforts from QRCS and Qatar Charity. It has an Azurion 3 F15, one of the most advanced medical equipment in Yemen. With its HD imaging system, it is used in diagnostic and therapeutic catheterizations and stenting. It helped improve the services provided at the center, accelerate diagnosis, reduce treatment costs, and save many lives." The center receives patients from all over the country, who sadly cannot afford diagnostic catheterization, the primary procedure to diagnose heart attacks, myocardial infarctions, and other conditions that require rapid treatment as t hey are life-threatening and detrimental to the patients' ability to practice their daily life activities. Launched in April 2024, the project is aimed at enhancing the center's diagnostic, therapeutic, and surgical capacity, as well as providing high-quality medical services for patients with heart diseases, at a total cost of USD 1,141,289 (QR 4,160,000) from the donations by the benevolent people of Qatar.
