Agreements strengthen cholera response and malaria prevention in Yemen, boost global polio eradication efforts and support dialysis treatment for Sudanese refugees
Riyadh 25 February 2025 – The World Health Organization (WHO) and the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief) agreed a series of new pledges to deliver life-saving health interventions for people threatened by cholera and malaria in Yemen, health services for Sudanese who have fled conflict in their country to neighbouring Egypt, and support polio eradication efforts in countries where the virus continues to circulate. The agreements were signed during the fourth Riyadh International Humanitarian Forum, being held 24-25 February.
The Forum brings together partners from across the humanitarian system to advocate for the survival, well-being and dignity of people affected by crises, and for the safety and security of aid workers.
“WHO greatly values our partnership with KSrelief and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which is helping provide critical health support to millions of people impacted by war, disease and displacement,”
