Sanaa: 97 medical personnel have died of the coronavirus in Yemen. A humanitarian aid group gave this information. From this, the impact of this global epidemic can be estimated on the shabby health sector in a war-torn country. ‘Medglobal’ quoted this to Yemeni doctors.
The 97 medical personnel who died included infectious disease specialists, medical directors, midwives, and drug dealers. Before the coronavirus outbreak, Yemen had just 10 doctors for every 10,000 people. The country’s health system has collapsed after five years of war. Half of its medical facilities are lying idle. Yemen’s internationally recognized government has confirmed 1,674 cases of Kovid-19 and 469 deaths.
