The Yemeni Teachers Union in Marib, northeastern Yemen, officially launched the distribution of health service cards for teachers on November 5, 2024.

During the ceremony, Abdullah Al-Bazli, the head of the Teachers Union in Marib, announced that the union has signed several contracts with both public and private medical institutions to provide health services to cardholders.

Al-Bazli stated that the health service card offers various medical services at significantly reduced rates, with discounts reaching up to 70% at participating facilities.
