The fuel crisis threatens the hospitals of Taiz, reducing dialysis appointments and stopping dozens of incubators. Government hospitals in the Taiz governorate are facing an acute crisis in the supply of the oil derivatives needed to operate electricity generators, which has led to the reduction of essential medical services and the discontinuation of several devices and departments, amid warnings of serious consequences for the lives of patients, especially newborns, patients with critical kidney failure. The severity of the crisis is increasing in light of the continued siege imposed on the city and the lack of operational resources, medicines and medical equipment, while the hospitals rely mainly on electricity generators to ensure the continued operation of intensive care units, children's incubators, ventilators and oxygen stations. Testimonies exclusive to Al-Masdr Online from medical and administrative sources reveal a growing gap between hospitals' real needs and the amounts of fuel available, prompting some to reduce their services, amid calls for urgent intervention to prevent vital departments from stopping work. Vital departments are under threat. Dialysis and hothouse services have decreased. The fuel crisis in Taiz hospitals is no longer limited to high operating costs, but has a direct impact on the services provided to patients, especially the departments that require continuous electricity supply, at a time when the hospital managements are encountering increasing difficulties in maintaining the minimum level of services. The director of the Republican Hospital in Taiz, Fouad Al-Haddad, said in a special statement to Al-Masdr Online that the oil derivatives crisis had a negative impact on the provision of medical services, especially in essential departments that depend directly on the electric current, and explained that the crisis led to a reduction in dialysis appointments, and threatens the continued operation of a sustainable electricity supply department, which includes a sustainable greenhouse. Al-Haddad added that the hospital's intensive care unit includes 40 beds whose services depend on the ventilators and the central oxygen system, which makes the continuity of electricity a basic necessity to maintain the patients' lives. He noted that the local authority continues to provide support to the hospital with oil derivatives since the beginning of the crisis, in accordance with existing capabilities, and expressed his appreciation for this support.
