almotamar.net - Deputy Director of the World Health Organisation (WHO) of Information Affairs for the Mediterranean Region said Tuesday the WHO was seeking to control the bilharzia disease in Yemen by launching a national campaign next March in cooperation with Yemen's Ministry for Health and Population.
In his statement to almotamar.net Ibrahim al-Kardani made it clear that the camping to control bilharzia targets more than one million and a half of school children at the age of 6-8 years as part of a strategic plan implemented by the WHO to eliminate for good the disease of bilharzia in Yemen.
During his meeting with the governor of Mahweet on Tuesday the WHO official affirmed that the Organisation conducted field studies and formed survey teams in cooperation with the National Programme for Control of Bilharzia in Yemen the beginning of next March.
The governor of Mahweet thanked, on behalf of Yemen, the efforts exerted by the WHO in Yemen. He also praised the successes the Organisation achieved in a number of areas, among them the routine immunization and in other fields realized locally and internationally.
WHO to inaugurate campaign on bilharzia in Yemen
In 2007 the opposition Yemen Congregation for Reform (Islah) Islamic oriented Party maintained its having political and media sway over the Joint meeting Parties (JMP) block, also consisting of Yemen Socialist Party and the Nasserite Unionist Organisation. 
Yemen is practically a cool green paradise, with crisp mountain air, enormous acacia trees, pristine coral reefs and verdant fields bursting with khat, a psychoactive plant that induces mild euphoria. 
Sana'a: Yemen will not be able to combat terror without regional and international cooperation, said a Yemeni official, who warned of the ramifications of letting Yemen fight terrorism alone.
Many journalists covered the funeral of the murdered Minister, Pierre Gemayel, the latest victim in a string of political assassinations in Lebanon.
Doctors use the word “crisis” to describe the point at which a patient either starts to recover or dies. President George W. Bush’s Iraqi patient now seems to have reached that point. Most commentators appear to think that Bush’s latest prescription – a surge of 20,000 additional troops to suppress the militias in Baghdad – will, at best, merely postpone the inevitable death of his dream of a democratic Iraq. Yet as “Battle of Baghdad” begins, factors beyond Bush’s control and not of his making (at least not intentionally) may just save Iraq from its doom.
