The Ras Morbat clinic in Aden is back in operation, after a mandatory closure due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
The challenge of securing supplies of PPE for patients and staff had been a major concern, with prices rocketing more than 1,000% since the health crisis began. But thanks to a grant from Episcopal Relief and Development, clinic supervisor Mansour Yousuf Khan has been able to purchase PPE stock sufficient to cover the clinic’s needs for some time.
With strict safety protocols for the protection of staff and patients now in place, staff have also been educating patients about procedures essential to limiting the spread of the virus.
