Under the patronage of Minister of Social Development Wafaa Bani Mustafa, the Watan Charitable Medical Center was inaugurated today in Jerash Governorate, at the invitation of the Bab Al-Khair Association and the Watan Organization, with the aim of providing free medical services to the people of the governorate and contributing to enhancing access to healthcare.

Minister of Social Development Wafaa Bani Mustafa emphasized that this important relief effort has a positive impact on the governorate and the camp's residents, stressing the importance of focusing on essential services for citizens and investing available resources to work side-by-side in providing services and alleviating burdens related to the health, education, and social services sectors.

She added that Jordan, alongside its political and diplomatic role, continues its relief and humanitarian efforts through the partnership between the Ministry of Social Development and the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO), noting the efforts made towards our brothers in the Gaza Strip through aid campaigns that have not stopped despite more than three years passing since the great humanitarian tragedy.

She drew attention to the Royal initiative to receive 2,000 children from the Gaza Strip to receive treatment in Jordan in partnership with the Ministry of Social Development, within the framework of humanitarian efforts aimed at supporting our brothers and alleviating their suffering.

The Chairman of the Administrative Board of the Bab Al-Khair Association, Maher Al-Gharib, stated that this medical facility was established to provide free medical services to needy families and the less fortunate groups in Jerash Governorate within an integrated medical environment that combines healthcare and volunteer medical work, based on the belief that treatment should not constitute a burden on citizens.

He added that the center seeks to achieve a sustainable impact on society and provide a comfortable and safe medical environment that allows beneficiaries to obtain the necessary healthcare, thereby contributing to improving their quality of life and enhancing social solidarity.

The founder of the Watan Foundation, Khaled Al-Qadoumi, said that the foundation was established in 2020 in the United States of America in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, and that the opening of the foundation's first center in Jordan in Jerash Governorate comes within the framework of supporting the local community, improving the level of health services, and providing safe and reliable treatment opportunities for needy families, contributing to building a stronger and more cohesive society.

Al-Qadoumi pointed out that the Hashemite leadership continues to consolidate the approach of humanitarian work, solidarity, and cohesion by supporting initiatives that target the most needy groups and enhancing the partnership between official institutions, charitable associations, and civil society organizations, which reflects positively on the lives of citizens and contributes to expanding the scope of health and humanitarian services provided to them.
