4. According to HNO, approximately, 19.7 million people need health assistance in
Yemen – an increase of 3.1 million people in the last year. Two-thirds of districts
(203 of 333) are in the most severe need due to poor access to health services,
displacement, and deteriorating socio-economic conditions. Specific vulnerable
groups include children, women, girls, elderly, IDPs, and marginalized people.
Consequently, BFD works in several governorates of Yemen to promote health,
keep Yemen safe, and serve the vulnerable. Furthermore, BFD aims to ensure
that every governorate has utter health coverage to protect patients from health
emergencies, and provide further people with better health and well-being. For
health coverage, BFD focuses on primary and secondary health care to improve
access to quality essential services. For health emergencies, BFD prepares for
emergencies by identifying, mitigating, and managing risks. Moreover, BFD
detects and responds to acute health emergencies, and supports the delivery of
essential health services in fragile settings.
“Do not sit and wait for a savior to come, be the savior for the
people in despair.”
About Health
About Nutrition
According to HNO, the nutrition situation in Yemen remains alarming. An estimat-
ed 7.4 million people require services to treat or prevent malnutrition58, including
4.4 million who are in acute need. This includes 3.2 million people who require
treatment for acute malnutrition: 2 million children under 5 and 1.14 million PLW.
However, BFD prioritizes the prevention of malnutrition as it reduces human
suffering, where it is the most effective path to long-lasting results. When children
under five and pregnant and lactating women (PLW) do suffer from acute malnu-
trition, which is inadequate nutrition, leading to rapid weight loss, or wasting
—BFD provides treatment and links it to long-term care to prevent them from
becoming malnourished again.
