Shamsan stressed the necessity of community participation in achieving successes and aspirations, providing the best service, and localizing treatment by leveraging competencies and capabilities.

Meanwhile, the conference president and director of the Heart Center, Dr. Abu Zarr Al-Ghafari, outlined the center’s achievements with its distinguished staff and contributions from Taiz University. He noted that the conference would discuss 82 scientific papers and research over three days, with 600 doctors and consultants participating. Additionally, the event includes workshops, surgical operations at the center, and a training program targeting 250 doctors, underlining the critical role of community participation in achieving health sector successes.

This landmark conference not only marks a pivotal moment for Taiz but also for the medical field in Yemen, showcasing the relentless pursuit of scientific and medical excellence despite challenging circumstances.
