The 500-bed UAE-Jordanian field hospital set up at the refugee camps near the border with Syria to help Syrian refugees was officially launched.
The launch was headed by Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh at a ceremony here on Tuesday.
The ceremony was attended by Jordanian Health Minister, Abdellatif Wurekat, Ambassador of the UAE to Jordan, Abdullah Nasser Al Ameri, UNHCR representative to Jordan, Andrew Harper, WFP Country Director, Maha Ahmad, representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross, and officials of the UAE Red Crescent Authority and Jordanian charities.
Tens of volunteer doctors, nurses, health professionals, technicians and administrators from the UAE, Jordan and other countries jointly run the hospital’s clinics and provide free medical care to thousands of Syrians who were displaced to the Jordanian territory.
Operating this field hospital is in line with directives from the UAE’s top leadership to alleviate the suffering of patients in Amman, Mafraq, Ramtha, Ma’an, Irbid and other cities.
