Jordan IAR map 2023

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 specialised healthcare 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 orthopaedic trauma, burns and other conflict-related injuries. Our holistic approach to care includes physiotherapy and mental health support.

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 healthcare providers, offering technical assistance, training and medical supplies to bolster healthcare capacity.
