UNHCR ends IMC mental health services for refugees in Jordan

AMMAN — The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Jordan announced on Sunday that the International Medical Corps (IMC) will discontinue its mental health services for refugees at its affiliated clinics starting June 10, 2025.

In a statement, UNHCR noted that refugees seeking psychological support for the first time can access specialised mental health services at various Ministry of Health facilities across the country.

These services will be offered at reduced rates, equivalent to the fees paid by uninsured Jordanian citizens who can afford treatment. Access to these services requires possession of a valid UNHCR-issued refugee document for all refugees, and for Syrian refugees, a Ministry of Interior security card.

UNHCR urged refugees to visit the nearest government health centre for assistance. The commission also assured that current patients receiving treatment through IMC, with active medical files, will be contacted by the IMC team to guide their cases moving forward.
