Royal Court chief launches 'Widad Campaign' to provide free medical days for underprivileged communities

AMMAN — Royal Court Chief Yousef Issawi on Saturday launched the "Widad" campaign, a series of free medical days in the Balqa Governorate.

The initiative, organised by the Nobles Foundation for Sustainable Development, coincides with His Majesty King Abdullah’s birthday and aims to provide essential healthcare services to underserved families and communities across the kingdom.

The campaign kicked off at the New Mallaha housing project in the Deir Alla District, which was established under Royal directives and inaugurated by King Abdullah in January 2025, according to a Royal Court Statement. 

Organisers noted that the campaign will later expand to other low-income housing areas and remote regions in need of healthcare support.

During the launch event, attended by Balqa Governor Salman Najada and Princess Iman Hospital Director Abdulaziz Awamleh, Issawi highlighted the significance of such initiatives in promoting social solidarity by ensuring healthcare access for vulnerable groups.

 Founder and Director of the Nobles Foundation Lara Burgan highlighted the wide range of services provided, including laboratory tests, early breast cancer screenings, speech therapy for children, vision screenings, and care for the elderly and those with chronic illnesses. 

She emphasised that the campaign was coordinated with the Ministry of Health, the Food and Drug Administration, and local authorities.

Alongside the medical services, the foundation organises social and recreational activities for children and residents in the targeted areas.
