Public health risks, priorities, needs and gaps
There are about 50% fully functional Health Facilities (HFs),
37% partially functional and 13% remain
non-functional (HeRAMS 2020). The Majority of the Yemeni
population have limited access to health
services as a result of the security situation in many areas,
road blocks and advancing frontlines harsh
socio-economic conditions, which impacts their ability to seek
health services.
Furthermore, as an impact of fuel crisis on provision of health
services in support health facilities by
health partners, responses were received from 10 health partners
supporting total of 367 health
facilities in 69 districts of 15 governorates. Of those HFs,
impacts were reported from 197 health
facilities (162 Primary health care facilities and 35 secondary
care facilities).
The initial analysis by Health Cluster shows that 47% of the
responses received indicated decrease in
beneficiaries seeking health services in 367 HFs. The analysis
also showed that 22% of received
responses was for the difficulties in health workers’
transportation and 12% for difficulties in
transferring the medicines and supplies.
The referral from PHC to the secondary care level, the
availability and cost of specialized care alongside
limited resources for the care of non-communicable diseases
continue to place a huge burden on the
patients who suffer from chronic illnesses such as diabetes,
hypertension, renal failure and cancer.
COVID-19 Highlights
The first confirmed case of COVID-19 in Yemen was declared on
April 10th 2020. As of July 31st 2020,
1,732 positive cases have been reported and 494 deaths. (please
note that these figures represent the
southern part of the country only).The real number of the cases
is unknown due to low testing capacity
Situation update
The humanitarian situation in Yemen continues to deteriorate and
fighting continue to evolve in many
frontlines across the country. According to the extension HRP
2020, the people in need has increased
reaching a whopping 24.1 million people out of 29 million
people. Out of the 24.1 million people in
need, 19.7 million person require some sort of health assistance
and 14 million out of that are in dire
need of health assistance. Despite of funding challenges, the
Health cluster 45 partners continue to
support health activities to ensure essential and life-saving
health services as to respond to the health
needs of the Yemeni people supporting about 2350 health
facilities all over Yemen in July 2020.
Providing continuous support and health services requires the
sustainability of funding for the health
operations in Yemen, which supports the most vulnerable groups
in the country.
Frontlines in Yemen continue to expand, as of the end of July
2020, active frontlines have reached a
total of 43 with fighting intensifying near Al-Baydha, Abyan,
Marib and Al-Jawf governorates.
Torrential rains have struck Yemen adding to the already worst
humanitarian crisis in the world. Starting
in April 2020, these torrential rains continue to cause flooding
thus causing damages in properties and
lives and displacing many more vulnerable people.
Even though the trend is declining, but COVID-19 cases are still
reported with associate d death in the
country, Please refer to the below COVID-19 detailed section for
more information.

and sharing of information by the authorities. The UN and all of
its partners are working under the
assumption that the country is in a full-scale community
transmission.
Health Cluster partners led by CLA- WHO are currently supporting
37 isolation units out of the 59 IUs
identified by the health authorities in the South and North to
receive severe and critical C19 cases.
They support with medicines, medical supplies, equipment,
ventilators, IPC, case management & IPC
training hazard payment and operational support. So far, there
are four health partners (IRC, SCI, ADD
and IRY) supporting isolation units. UNICEF and UNFPA are also
supporting with ventilators and various
materials of IPC, PPE and medicines. MSFs France, Belgium, Spain
and Swiss have done good efforts in
COVID-19 response by running (fully or partially support) 4
isolation units in Aden, Sana’a, Ibb and Al-
Hudaydah, however some of those facilities went back to provide
the normal non-COVID services.
Health partners are continuing to provide support to several
aspects of COVID measures in the non-
COVID health facilities they support.
FIGURE 1 COVID-19 CASES REPORTED FROM SOUTHERN GOVERNORATES-
TILL WEEK 31 2020.
Health Facilities Mapping of COVID-19 Activities, July 2020
Within various COVID- 19 response efforts, Health Cluster team
decided to start a monthly mapping
for the COVID measures that health partners have supported in
NON-COVID health facilities. The
mapping of May 2020 which 36 health partners have responded,
shows that despite of partners’ efforts
to scale up COVID measures, but there are still gaps need to be
filled (indicated as planned activities
by partners). Those gaps were clearly reflected in Risk
communication and community engagement,
health staff training on IPC and case management, prepositioning
of IPC materials and triage.
Communicable Diseases
From the 1st of January to the 31st of July, 2020 there were
164137 cholera suspected cases reported, 47 associated deaths and
the outbreak has affected 22 of 23 governorates and 295 of 333
districts in Yemen. The districts reporting the highest number of
suspected Cholera cases of during month of July 2020 were Al-Hali,
Zabid and Az Zuhrah in Al-Hudaydah, Hamdan in Sana’a, and Bany
Al-Harith in Amanat Alasimah. The highest reporting governorates
were Al-Hudaydah, Sana’a, Al-Bayda, Amanat Alasimah and Ibb.

Non-communicable diseases and Mental Health
There were 8,837 new hypertensive and 8,423 individuals with
mental health illness who received
medical attention and psychosocial support by health partners
during the months of July 2020.
Health Facility Support
In July 2020, 39 Health Cluster Partners have sustained their
support to the 2,350 health facilities
including operational support, incentives for the health
workers, training of health workers and
provision of medicines and medical supplies.
Availability of essential services
The Health Cluster Partners are continuing to support primary
and secondary health care services
across the country. These services are offered free of charge
across all health centers and units, with
secondary health care provided in the governorate and district
hospitals, as a result of the support of
partners with incentives and operational costs. Some of the main
challenges that are hindering the
delivery of quality health services are insecurity, access
impediments and inadequate health workers
(capacity and numbers). The economic situation is becoming worst
on a daily basis as the Yemeni Rial
continues to depreciate and the majority of the population are
not able to afford transport to and from
the health facilities. In addition, the roads are in poor state
and can some of them are no longer usable.
In an effort to counter these challenges, Health Partners are
supporting and facilitating patients’
transportation and referral through the voucher system in order
to improve acceptance, access and
utilization of health services by the patients.
Availability of Health Staff
The health workers available in the health facilities are not
enough, as the majority have migrated from
their locations due to insecurity, access challenges or lack of
salaries. Those still in the health facilities
are largely dependent on incentives offered by the humanitarian
actors to sustain the remaining
services offered in these facilities.

were supplied to the health facilities in addition to 12 IEHK
basic Kits, 6 IEHK Supplementary kits, 162
other types of kits and 1 Trauma kit to support various health
facilities across the country.

Health Cluster Partners Updates – July 2020
Health Cluster Partners continued supporting health service
delivery across the country. Below are a
few examples of different Health Cluster Partners operating in
different governorates inside Yemen.
World Health Organization (WHO)
The World Health Organization in Yemen continues to provide
life-saving health services in Yemen and
supporting and enhancing the existing health system. WHO is also
focusing on COVID-19 Preparedness and
support. In July 2020, 570 confirmed COVID-19 cases were
registered with 181 associated deaths.
Key Highlights during July 2020:
COVID-19
● In July, the COVID-19 strategy was refreshed in line with the
phase the pandemic has reached in Yemen. WHO and aid agencies
response now focuses on testing, surveillance and case
management.
1. To step up suppression transmission, more than 19,680
community-based volunteers have been mobilized to educate
communities and raise awareness about the virus, how it is
transmitted and how people can protect themselves.
2. Providing COVID-19 supplies is essential. By the end of July,
the United Nations has procured more than 14,300 metric tons of
medical equipment, testing kits and medicine. A total of 11,380
metric tons have already arrived in the country and another 2, 936
metric tons were in the pipeline.
3. To save as many lives as possible, WHO and the UN partners
continue to work on expanding hospitals capacity in key population
centers. This includes establishing 21 new intensive care units
(ICUs) in COVID-19 designated hospitals, adding to 38 existing ICUs
bringing the total to 59 ICUs in 22 governorates. Also, 675 ICU
beds and 259 ventilators were delivered into the country. A total
of 333 health rapid response teams (1,665 staff) were occupied with
responding to COVID-19 cases. 11.7thousand oxygen cylinders are
being refilled, per month, countrywide and 300 thousand personal
protective equipment items delivered. To expand the national labs
testing capacity, WHO supported raising six labs with COVID-19
testing capacity, including four in the southern governorates
(Mukalla, Say’un, Aden, and Taizz), and two in the north (Sana’a
city and Al Hudaydah).
4. Safeguarding the public health system at more than 4,300
non-COVID health care facilities to ensure available facilities are
not overwhelmed by COVID-19 cases remains a priority. These
facilities continue to provide non-COVID health care services to
prevent deaths from other deadly diseases and causes, including
cholera, diphtheria, dengue and malaria, and to provide nutrition
treatment to pregnant and

lactating women and malnourished children. In July, 2,779 health
facilities continued to provide health services for malaria, and
1,257 health facilities provided cholera response services.
● Trauma Care and General Emergency Services: WHO continued its
support to targeted hospitals to ensure functionality and
continuous provision of trauma care services, includes the
provision of 31 Trauma Kits A, 210 Trauma Kits B, 111 Anesthesia
Kits and 796 SSK –Surgical Supply Kits to the main referral
hospitals across the country.
● Fuel Provision: Amid an ongoing fuel crisis, WHO continued its
support to targeted health facilities with fuel provision to ensure
functionality and continuous provision of life-saving health care
services. A total of 1,373,321 L of fuel was planned to be provided
to 297 health facilities across the country in July, but the
delivery has been delayed due to logistic challenges.
● Cholera response: WHO continued to provide leadership and
support activities with health authorities and partners to respond
to the ongoing cholera outbreak including case management;
surveillance and laboratory investigations; hotspot mapping and
oral cholera vaccine (OCV) campaign planning; water, sanitation and
hygiene (WASH); and risk communication. The cholera response faces,
however, a series of challenges, including a lack of resources,
suspension of incentive payments, reduction in health-seeking
behaviors and service utilization at cholera treatment centers due
to fear of COVID-19, and authorities’ restrictions on OCV
shipment.
● Nutrition Surveillance System (NSS): a total of 19,736
children under five were screened for all forms of malnutrition in
June; 30% of them under six months of age. A concerning decline in
the number of children tested from April to June has been observed.
The decrease in the number of children screened is likely to be an
impact of COVID-19 on healthcare-seeking behavior. With the
emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, nutrition surveillance sites
have adopted standard operating procedures to reduce the risk of
COVID19 transmission among health workers, target beneficiaries
(children under five years of age) and their caregivers, during
nutritional screening in NSS. Adapted procedures and revised
methods aim to ensure a correct child’s nutritional assessment
while minimizing contact with surfaces and between health workers
(HWs), patients and caregivers. On the other hand, a total of 1,038
children were admitted with medical complications to WHO-supported
90 therapeutic feeding centers (TFCs) for the treatment of Severe
Acute Malnutrition (SAM). The cure rate was reported at 92 per cent
(579) with a case fatality rate of 1 per cent. Furthermore, WHO
continued scaling up the plan to increase service availability and
reach more rural communities by opening new TFCs in rural areas. In
line with the scale-up plan, 19 new TFCs were established since the
beginning of 2020. In June, two new TFCs started reporting in Amran
governorate.
● Polio campaign: As of late July, WHO in coordination with
UNICEF, and health authorities, implemented a life-saving polio
campaign in 13 governorates targeting over 1.2M children under the
age of five. A total of 1,161,091 children (94%) were reached with
polio vaccine and Vitamin A. The World Bank supported the campaign
under the Emergency Health and Nutrition Project (EHNP).$
● Reproductive Health Reproductive Health: An Advocacy and
Endorsement workshop on the MPDSR (Maternal,
Perinatal death surveillance and response) with the
attendance of 140 participants from the
Ministry of Health, NGOs, Al- Thawra and Al-Sabeen
hospitals and the health offices was organized
for 4 days in Al-Thawra & Al- Sabeen districts. The
workshop represents the steps of establishment
of the MPDSR system in Yemen, the flow of the
reporting and the notification and reporting forms.
Participants stressed the importance of
establishing this program as a mandatory program
all over Yemen to address causes of maternal mortality and
improve quality of care. WHO supported the
development of a situation analysis and action plan for child
health program interventions with priority
areas in consultation with the related departments at the
Ministry of Health. WHO is leading on the

RMNCH health services.” from a new
fund received from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
(BMGF). Yemen is among three countries in the
region supported with this grant. Training materials in the area
of maternal and new born health were
delivered to a number of training institutes in Sana’a and
Aden.
● Diphtheria Campaign: WHO conducted a diphtheria vaccination
campaign in Aden, Lahj, Al Mahra, Taiz and Al Dahle governorates
targeting 1.45 million children from six weeks to 15 years of age
in 1st week of July 2020, following infection, prevention and
control measures. A total of around 1.09 million children (75.1%)
were vaccinated during the campaign. 1
