The Acting Chairman of Marib General Hospital Authority, Dr. Abdulkarim Humaid, met on Tuesday morning with the Deputy Chairman of Yamany Foundation for Development and Humanitarian Work (YDH), Mr. Mohammed Darman, and the Foundation’s Director of Programs, Dr. Anas Saif, to discuss the progress of the Water Services Improvement Project at Marib General Hospital, which is being implemented by the Foundation and funded by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) through the Sahem Platform, aiming to ensure the provision of safe and sustainable water.
The meeting addressed the nature of the project’s work from both technical and administrative aspects, and reviewed plans and priorities for upcoming phases in line with identified needs to enhance the sustainability of services. Both sides emphasized the importance of continued coordination and integration between the Foundation and the hospital management to ensure that interventions are implemented in accordance with the highest humanitarian and technical standards, thereby improving the quality of healthcare services provided to patients.
The Water Services Improvement Project at Marib General Hospital, funded by KSrelief and launched on October 8, 2025, includes the rehabilitation of an integrated water network serving the hospital. This involves rehabilitating the existing well with a depth of (120) meters by equipping it with a modern submersible pump to increase productivity, linking it to a solar power system, establishing a distribution network from the well to the tank, and maintaining the pump room.
The project also includes drilling a new well with a depth of (180) meters, constructing a solar power system to operate the well and pump room with all associated components, and building a new elevated tank with a capacity of (50) cubic meters, along with a complete water network connecting the tank to the hospital. Additionally, it includes rehabilitating and reactivating the existing elevated tank, and establishing a desalination plant with a production capacity of (20,000) liters per hour to ensure the supply of potable water and its proper purification.
