The Minister of Health stated that evaluating the health system and judging the level of qualitative efficiency of its outputs is based on quality standards, performance indicators, goals and specifications of the services to be provided.
He indicated that the performance quality improvement program is a fundamental pillar in any medical facility, as it deals with people and their lives, noting that quality should not be limited to appearance, but rather to the service provided, diagnosis, quality of medical devices, documentation, auditing, and quality of work.
Al-Mutawakel stressed the need to activate self-resources and make optimal use of the available capabilities, manage the medical staff, and intensify the qualification and training of cadres with the aim of improving work and modernizing and improving the services provided to citizens in a way that enables government hospitals to enhance their role to the fullest, urging the need for international maintenance of medical devices and equipment and training the cadres to use them.
Capital Sana’a Mayor Hammoud Ubad blessed the positive transformations and developments witnessed by the health sector despite the continuation of the aggression and the blockade.
Ubad pointed out that the aggression targeted the infrastructure of the health sector to increase the suffering of citizens.
He touched on the directives of the Leader of the Revolution, the Supreme Political Council and the government in advancing the health sector to alleviate the suffering of citizens.
