In our world today, we need to understand, measure, and respond to inequality. The conflict and siege in Yemen have caused serious repercussions and consequences for the pharmaceutical sector and health of the people. Hospital, health centres and facilities, medicines warehouses and pharmaceutical factories have been destroyed. Further, the conflict has aggravated the health situation with shortages of medicines, an increase in chronic illnesses, and multiple epidemics and casualties. This article aims to highlight the challenges faced by the pharmaceutical sector in Yemen. It will address the overall state of health of the Yemeni people, as well as focus on the past, current status and future development of the pharmaceutical sector. Further, it will focus on possible remedial actions to solve some of these problems. These problems can be tackled if the responsible parties have the political will to do so. Acknowledging the different classes of problems is undeniably very important to provide clarity on the future of Yemen's supposedly promising pharmaceutical landscape.
在我们当今的世界，我们需要了解、衡量和应对不平等现象。也门的冲突和围困对制药部门和人民的健康造成了严重的影响和后果。医院、保健中心和设施、药品仓库和制药厂遭到破坏。此外，冲突使药品短缺、慢性病增加以及多种流行病和伤亡人数增加的情况更加恶化。本文旨在强调也门制药部门面临的挑战。它将讨论也门人民的整体健康状况，并重点关注也门制药部门的过去、现状和未来发展。此外，它还将重点关注可能采取的补救措施来解决其中的一些问题。如果有关各方有政治意愿，这些问题是可以解决的。承认不同类别的问题无疑非常重要，可以清楚地了解也门制药业这一本来很有前途的行业的未来。
