This stamp was issued in 1962 by the Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen (المملكة المتوكلية اليمنية) to commemorate the opening and development of the Maternity and Child Centre (رعاية الأمومة والطفولة). The illustration depicts healthcare workers and nurses attending to a mother and infant, highlighting modern medical care and clinical support.

During the early 1960s, expanding public health services, maternal care, and infant healthcare was a key focus of national development and international medical assistance in Yemen. Issuing this commemorative series underscored the state's efforts to lower infant mortality, improve maternal welfare, and promote public awareness surrounding clinical health and child survival programs across the country.
