The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) continued its support for the Yemeni people in 2025 through the sixth phase of its prosthetics and rehabilitation project in Hadramout Governorate, reinforcing the importance of long-term humanitarian rehabilitation in conflict-affected settings.
The project provides free medical and humanitarian services for people living with limb loss, including prosthetic fitting, physical rehabilitation, and local workforce training aimed at strengthening Yemen’s own medical and technical capacity. By combining direct patient care with staff development, the programme is designed not only to restore mobility, but also to support more sustainable rehabilitation services on the ground.
During 2025, KSrelief delivered 22,705 services benefiting 7,025 individuals through the project’s different care pathways. These included services under the prosthetics and orthotics programme, which benefited 400 individuals, as well as 19,097 physiotherapy services benefiting 3,424 individuals. The project also delivered services under the technical rehabilitation programme, benefiting 360 individuals.
In addition to treatment and rehabilitation support, the initiative provided 741 medical consultation services benefiting 734 individuals, while technical consultation services were delivered to 2,107 beneficiaries. These figures underline the breadth of the project, which extends beyond prosthetic provision alone to include the clinical guidance and technical support needed for more effective long-term care.
The sixth phase of the project highlights how humanitarian rehabilitation programmes can deliver both immediate and lasting value when they focus on mobility restoration, therapy, technical support, and local capacity building at the same time. In a setting such as Yemen, where conflict has placed enormous pressure on healthcare systems and rehabilitation access, this type of integrated support can play a vital role in improving function, independence, and quality of life.
With the completion of the project’s sixth phase, KSrelief’s work in Hadramout stands as a reminder that humanitarian rehabilitation is not only about devices or treatment sessions. It is also about investing in people, building local expertise, and creating the foundations for more sustainable change. The outcomes of this phase reflect a programme shaped not only by service numbers, but by the deeper impact of restoring dignity, mobility, and opportunity to those affected by limb loss.
