Geneva, The World Health Organisation (WHO) hailed Kuwait’s contribution to the organisation’s programmes in countries affected by conflicts and crises.

The Kuwaiti contribution plays a big role in the execution of WHO’s projects and programmes in Yemen, Syria and other countries in need, WHO’s Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus told Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) after his meeting with Kuwait’s permanent representative to the UN Ambassador Jamal Al-Ghunaim on Wednesday.

He hoped that his upcoming visit to Kuwait will create further cooperation between the two sides in aiding people in need.

The ambassador said that Kuwait continuously supports WHO in providing health care to Syrians especially refugees in neighboring countries in such extremely cold weather.

The meeting discussed providing medicine and medical equipment, as well as vaccinating children as part of Kuwait’s contribution, he noted.
