The Saudi-led Arab Coalition to support the legitimacy in Yemen has granted al-Balsam International Organization access into the country to provide needy patients free-of-charge humanitarian medical services.

This is the second time in the span of a month that the organization has been allowed to enter the country. The medical services are done in coordination with the Yemeni legitimate government, reported the Saudi Press Agency.

This move comes after the positive results achieved by al-Balsam in the successful treatment of heart patients in Yemen, Mukalla, during the month of May.

The organization conducted many heart surgeries for patients in need, including 12 open-heart surgery and 125 catheterizations.

It also came at the request received by the organization from the Yemeni Ministry of Health and Population based on a appeal from the Nabd el-Hayat Center located in the city of Mukalla on the need to perform urgent surgeries for a number of heart patients in need.
