Médecins Sans Frontières’ (MSF) support to Abs Hospital in Hajjah governorate in Yemen, is one of our biggest humanitarian responses across the world.
To facilitate access to healthcare for people affected by war and displacement, we have been supporting the hospital since 2015, gradually raising its capacity from 30 to 288 beds over the years.
Today, we support the emergency room, maternity ward, in-patient therapeutic feeding centre (ITFC), paediatric and neonatal units, in addition to providing mental health services and managing a referral system for patients requiring further medical care from Abs Hospital to various hospitals in the cities of Sana'a, Hajjah and Al Hudaydah.
An international team of medical staff, operations managers, logisticians, human resources and finance professionals from all over the world are part of our staff in Abs, supporting more than 180 Yemeni colleagues and 500 Ministry of Health staff. Meet them!
