Jordan Field Hospital Expands Prosthetic Care Services in South Gaza

Amman: The prosthetics clinic at the Jordanian Field Hospital South Gaza/10 continues to provide medical and humanitarian services to Palestinians. The effort comes under the "Restore Hope" initiative, launched by the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF), aimed to help amputees regain mobility and resume their daily lives. Recently, the clinic has been reinforced with more than 1,000 advanced prosthetic limbs delivered by the JAF. Using modern technology, medical teams can take measurements, manufacture, fit and deliver a permanent prosthetic limb within two hours, tailored to each patient's condition, functional needs and anticipated physical changes.

According to Jordan News Agency, the clinic also provides prosthetic limbs designed specifically for children to accommodate different stages of growth, as well as flexible carbon-fiber prosthetic feet suited to the damaged terrain across the Gaza Strip. A specialized team of prosthetists and physiotherapists oversees patients' rehabilitation before and after prosthetic fitting processes, supporting restoration of mobility, balance and physical independence.

The initiative forms part of the JAF's humanitarian and medical role to ease the suffering of Palestinians and support their recovery, according to a JAF statement. Since the current hospital rotation began, the clinic has fitted 126 upper- and lower-limb prostheses. Since the launch of the "Restore Hope" initiative, more than 1,200 prosthetic limbs have been provided to patients in Gaza.
