This paper illustrates the experience of a cardiologist and an internist in Yemen, with snapshots from everyday life, both inside and outside hospitals. After outlining the main stages of Italy-Yemen cooperation, it describes the situation of Yemeni health care, with particular reference to its hospitals, the training of medical personnel and gender differences in the approach to male and female patients.

Abstract
This paper illustrates the experience of a cardiologist and an internist in Yemen, with snapshots from everyday life, both inside and outside hospitals. After outlining the main stages of Italy-Yemen cooperation, it describes the situation of Yemeni health care, with particular reference to its hospitals, the training of medical personnel and gender differences in the approach to male and female patients. It then takes into consideration certain aspects characterising the state of health of the Yemeni population, such as the extremely high incidence of rheumatic heart disease due to the total lack of primary and secondary prevention and gender differences in the treatment of women with acute coronary syndrome.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
