(With photos) CAIRO, April 10 (KUNA) -- The World Health Organization (WHO) office here has commended Kuwait's role in the provision of necessary medicine to Syrian people.
WHO Middle East Director Dr. Alaa Eddin Al-Elwan said in a release handed out here on Thursday that the WHO voiced its gratitude and appreciation to the Kuwaiti government for its recent contributions to WHO medical activities in Syria.
"The new contribution has enabled the WHO to pursue its efforts to reach out to those vulnerable individuals in Syria and neighboring countries, providing them with basic health care," he said.
The WHO has already received USD 10 million in Kuwaiti aid to support its health services in Syria, he said, recalling that Kuwait had given the WHO USD 35 million in donation in 2013.
He promised that the WHO would ensure an efficient utilization of Kuwait's recent financial contribution to health care in this violence-hit Arab country. (end) rg.mt
