We believe in the power of engineering to make a change.
Health
In a rapidly changing context fraught with conflict and a rise in the burden of disease, there is an ever-growing need for innovative, multidisciplinary solutions to emerging public health problems in the country and the region. The broad objective of our health projects is to combine disciplinary methods to address global challenges, which is particularly important given rapid transitions in health in the country, and the urgency of meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We partner with Ministry of Public Health, Faculty of engineering, and Yemeni Engineers Syndicate to response to the humanitarian and public health challenges constantly emerging globally, regionally and locally, affecting vulnerable and underprivileged population groups.
