Days of free medical, educational services kick off in Zarqa

AMMAN — The activities of the free medical and educational days, organised by Terre des Hommes Italy (TdH It) in cooperation with the Polish Medical Mission with a financial fund from the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ Department of Development Cooperation, kicked off on Tuesday, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

The event, which takes place at the headquarters of the “Soldier’s Family Support Society”, TdH It’s local partner in Zarqa, aims to provide essential healthcare services to mothers, children, and infants as well as health education to the local community and Syrian refugees in Zarqa Governorate.

More than 4,000 women and 4,000 children have so far benefitted from the two phases of the project since it began a year ago, according to Petra. The Polish Medical Mission coordinator said that the project seeks to alleviate the burden of hosting Syrian refugees by mitigating the pressure on Jordan’s healthcare sector.
