Amman, Nov. 10 (Petra) -- Her Royal Highness Princess Ghida Talal, chairperson of the Board of Trustees of the King Hussein Cancer Foundation (KHCF) and Center (KHCC), received a Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) delegation to review treatment and care services and discuss ways to enhance cooperation.

The delegation was headed by the Kuwaiti Ambassador Khali Almaqamis, the society's board chairman.

Speaking at the meeting held at the center's headquarters on Tuesday, Princess Ghida said: "We take pride in our important partnership with the Kuwait Red Crescent Society, and we appreciate their humanity and boundless giving, which has helped save the lives of cancer patients over the years." In turn, Almaqamis said the partnership reflects the "depth" of ties between Kuwait and Jordan, reflecting a shared commitment to easing the suffering of the neediest patients, particularly Palestinians and Syrians.

He said the society looks forward to expanding cooperation to enable more patients to receive treatment and medical care, "in line with the firm humanitarian message of the State of Kuwait and the values of solidarity and mutual support on which the society’s work is based." The visit comes within a strategic partnership between the society and the foundation and center that began in 2016.

Under this collaboration, treatment costs were covered for more than 106 Syrian refugee patients and 69 patients from the Gaza Strip.
