Today’s ceremony included the handover of a
newly constructed Al Hadalat Medical Clinic to
Royal Medical Services (RMS),
one of the three medical facilities constructed under this project.
The project supported the provision of medical
infrastructure and essential equipment to enhance JAF’s medical and health
response in the North-Eastern border area.
This included building field trauma clinics at
two company-level bases and a level one medical clinic at Al Hadalat base.
As part of the capacity building component,
IOM supported the delivery of comprehensive trainings to enhance urgent trauma
care skills, which were led by the
Royal Medical Service (RMS) trainers.
The North-East border is geographically
isolated and prone to emergencies, having a medical clinic nearby ensures a
swift responses to address medical needs promptly, reducing the risk of
complications and saving lives.
Therefore, this intervention primarily aimed
at bolstering JAF's medical capabilities at the North-East border.
It is designed to ensure seamless and
efficient delivery of emergency trauma care to individuals requiring urgent
assistance at site.
“Our long-lasting partnership with the
Jordanian Armed Forces has been a cornerstone in driving positive change,
especially in the most remote areas where infrastructure development was
crucial,” said H.E.
Mr. Othman Belbeisi, IOM Regional Director for
the Middle East and North Africa.
“The current project would strengthen the
capacity for emergency trauma care; a key factor undermining JAF's efforts to
maintain security on borders and combat illegal cross-border smuggling
activities.
It also aims to ensure a timely and efficient
delivery of emergency trauma care to those in need, including Syrian refugees
and Jordanians living in border communities,” stated H.E.
Mr.OKUYAMA Jiro, Japanese Ambassador to Jordan.
The closing ceremony acknowledged the profound
impact of the joint efforts of IOM, JAF and the Government of Japan.
Collectively, a strong foundation for the
advancement of emergency medical services in the North-Eastern border area has
been led, supporting the JAF's mission to provide life-saving care to those in
need.
