Jordan hosts over 700,000 refugees, according to the UNHCR, many of whom reside in camps or have settled in the country. Refugees endure extremely limited access to health care in Jordan.
Our reconstructive surgery program in the capital, Amman, was first established in 2006 to treat people injured in the Iraq War.
With a high level of medical expertise, surgical specialization, extensive facilities, and a holistic approach to care, the hospital is a regional base for the treatment of patients with significantly complicated injuries—primarily from Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and Palestine—who could not be treated in their home countries.
The program provides life-changing reconstructive surgery and rehabilitative care for people with orthopedic injuries, burns, gunshot wounds, and other conflict-related injuries, as well as physiotherapy and mental health support.
