My son, do not forget my teaching,

but keep my commands in your heart,

for they will prolong your life many years

and bring you prosperity.

 

Proverb 3:1-2

 

Recently, the UN’s World Health Organization has sent medical help to northern Yemen, because of internal conflicts couple of weeks ago.

 

Medical assistance such as professionals and medicine and supplies to treat people who have sustained injuries during the fighting, which media reports say has lasted a week in the mountainous region of Yemen. Further supplies will be sent to the area again.

 

Medical professionals and medical assistant has been dispatched from various areas to help poor people here. WHO is working with the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) on a joint health and nutrition response to the current emergency.

 

Although attention is focused on young babies and those with high-risk medical conditions, more older children who were previously healthy need help from medical assistant from hospitals to help stop infections and deaths. Of the 2.1 million children younger than 5 years, 78 percent of them are older than 12 months.

 

Most children were hospitalized and those who were treated in hospitals by medical assistant to assist them in their medical conditions that significantly identified them as being at greater risk for severe diseases.

 

Severe shortage of medical professionals such as medical assistants are lacking in severe places like these.  Trainings for quality medical assistants are lacking nowadays, one of the most prevalent school is St Agustine School of Medical Assistants, it offer quality school for health care professionals to be professionally prepared in emergency situations like this.
