Princess Sanaa inaugurates social support centre at Queen Rania children hospital

AMMAN — HRH Princess Sanaa Asem on Monday inaugurated a social support centre at the Queen Rania Al Abdullah Hospital for Children, as part of the “Chance to Learn” programme.

The centre seeks to offer social support for children who stay for long periods at the hospital, through play halls that contribute in alleviating their suffering, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

Minister of Planning and International Cooperation Imad Fakhoury said that the project is also essential in giving children a chance to continue their education while at hospital, adding that the play halls make the treatment place more acceptable and comfortable for them.

Royal Medical Services Director General Maj. Gen. Muin Habashneh said that the project is part of a programme to turn the hospital into a specialised venue that interacts with the local community in education and training.
