Amman: A delegation from the Jordan Medical Association (JMA), headed by President Issa Al-Khashashna, visited Gaza children receiving treatment at the University of Jordan Hospital under a Royal Initiative.
According to Jordan News Agency, the delegation commended the efforts of the medical and nursing staff caring for the sick children from Gaza and the level of medical and nursing services provided to them.
Hospital Director General Dr. Nader Albsoul stated that receiving Gaza children aligns with Royal directives to strengthen humanitarian medical corridors and ease the suffering of people in the enclave. He emphasized that the hospital continues to fulfill its role by mobilizing all its capabilities to provide specialized care for the children. He also acknowledged the support and partnership of the Medical Association in this national effort.
Al-Khashashna remarked that the JMA's role complements national efforts led by His Majesty the King. He noted that the Jordanian medical sector has been at the forefront of support, whether by receiving medical cases in hospitals or through Jordanian medical teams that provided care inside Gaza during the war. He added that the JMA continues its support and cooperation in serving the people of the West Bank in general and Gaza in particular.
Dr. Mohammed Hassan Tarawneh, head of the Doctors for Jerusalem Committee, provided an overview of the committee's activities. These include support for the health sector in Gaza by delivering medical, in-kind and food aid; rehabilitating the endoscopy department at Al-Shifa Medical Complex; and organizing blood donation campaigns.
The University of Jordan Hospital has received five children, aged between eight months and two years, suffering from complex heart diseases and congenital malformations. Two cardiac catheterization procedures have been performed, while three surgical operations for the remaining children are scheduled for early next year.
