Health Ministry implemented health & environmental awareness campaigns in summer schools in governorates
Sana'a - Saba:

When students' understanding of health concepts and how to deal with them, especially regarding first aid, is reinforced, and becomes a culture not already possessed by those enrolled in the courses, the benefits accrue to families and society.
The health education process aims to raise awareness by providing individuals with information and experiences with the goal of influencing their inclinations, knowledge, and health behaviors, both for themselves and for society, health education is a set of activities aimed at raising health knowledge and instilling healthy behaviors in individuals and communities.
