Unify the NHS with charities to reallocate unused but wasted medical care.
Through setting up a scheme unifying organisations such as UNICEF and the NHS we can reallocate the wasted medical supplies to provide relief. If a system is put in place to ensure the prescriptions have not been contaminated then the supplies can be used to assist with humanitarian crises.
Yemen is currently facing one of the world's largest humanitarian crises, which has been severely exacerbated by coronavirus. Over 24 million people, 80% of the country’s population, need urgent humanitarian aid and protection, including food, drinking water and healthcare. I feel as a country benefiting from being a developed nation, we have a social responsibility and moral obligation to care for the less fortunate internationally.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
It's not clear what you mean by 'wasted medical care' and therefore how this could be donated to Yemen.
We have however published this petition relating to the donation of unneeded medical equipment such as ventilators to countries in need, which you might like to sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/313670
