Jordan clinic

Paving the path for inclusive healthcare

Jordan's healthcare sector faces increasing struggles.

The healthcare sector in Jordan is facing growing pressure as the number of refugees and vulnerable individuals in the country continues to increase.

 

The increasing number of refugees, primarily from Syria, and the impact of COVID-19 have placed mounting pressure on Jordan’s already struggling healthcare sector.

 

With a host community that also requires additional healthcare services due to population growth, changing demographics and the rising prevalence of non-communicable diseases, sustaining the demand for healthcare remains a challenge.

 

Around one-third of the Jordanian population lacks health insurance.  Vulnerable groups, including women, children, disabled individuals, war-wounded individuals, patients with mental health conditions and older refugees, especially, require affordable and long-term healthcare services.

Our Work in Jordan

To address this need, Islamic Relief is working with the Jordanian Ministry of Health, UNHCR and local community-based organisations to provide primary health care services for refugees and host communities in Al-Mafraq. The intervention will improve the health of 2,000 of the most vulnerable and marginalised people.

 

The permanent clinic will provide primary healthcare services, including:

 

Clinic Operating System Registrations

Treatments and Consultations (including vital sign checks and other medical assessments)

Referrals for surgeries in other IRJ health projects or other health agencies
