In 2023, we continued to develop our regional outreach to facilitate follow-up consultations and continued physiotherapy for patients in their home countries, after discharge from the hospital. MSF collaborates closely with local health care providers, offering technical assistance, training, and medical supplies to bolster health care capacity.

Our work in Jordan
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) runs a reconstructive surgery program in Jordan, offering a comprehensive package of care to war-wounded patients from across the Middle East.
What's happening in Jordan?
Jordan hosts over 700,000 refugees, according to the UNHCR, many of whom reside in camps or have settled in the country.
How we're helping in Jordan
Initially opened as a consequence of the Iraq War in 2006, the MSF hospital in Amman has over the years also admitted patients from Syria, Yemen, and Palestine, offering specialized health care that was unavailable in their home countries.
It has grown into a regional hub for the treatment of patients with complicated, life-changing injuries, offering surgical and rehabilitative care for gunshot wounds, as well as orthopedic trauma, burns, and other conflict-related injuries. Our holistic approach to care includes physiotherapy and mental health support.
