| A lack of access to adequate medical facilities in Yemen is a concern, with many
underprivileged communities unable to afford medical consultation fees and the cost
of treatment. This has been further exacerbated by social and political unrest.
MTN Yemen has funded the operational costs of three medical clinic facilities. This support
ensures the provision of free medical services, which includes dispensing medication,
obstetrics and gynaecological treatment, paediatrics and first aid support. In 2012,
approximately 30 000 people used the services of these clinics.
