Amman, July 20 (Petra) -- The Jordanian Society for Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP Jordan) on Monday inaugurated specialist outpatient clinics in Al Sukhnah Camp in Zarqa, with support from the Indonesian people, expanding access to specialized healthcare for camp residents and nearby communities.
The opening ceremony was attended by the Indonesian ambassador to Jordan, alongside government officials, representatives of supporting organizations and other dignitaries, according to a press release by the society.
The new facility offers specialist services in ophthalmology, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics and orthopedics, in addition to diagnostic and support units, including radiology, laboratory and pharmacy services, it said.
The clinics will operate in line with high-quality healthcare standards to better meet patients' needs and reduce the need to travel for specialist treatment, the statement said.
Michel Sayegh, chairman of the MAP administrative board, thanked the Indonesian people, the Indonesian Embassy in Jordan, the Department of Palestinian Affairs and all supporters whose contributions enabled the MAP to open its fourth medical facility.
He said the opening of the Sukhna Camp specialist clinics reflects the strength of the humanitarian partnership and the shared commitment to improving healthcare services.
Executive Director Shereen Shaheen said the MAP will continue working with its partners and donors to further develop its healthcare services in line with its mission to provide comprehensive healthcare and improve the quality of life of Palestinian refugees in Jordan.
