Kuwaiti, Jordanian societies offer medical care to Syrian refugees

AMMONNEWS – Syrian refugees in Jordan will have free of charge medical care in the Jordan Red Crescent Hospital for a year, according to an agreement signed here on Sunday, KUNA published.

Deputy Chairman of the Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) Anwar Al­Hasawi and his counterpart at Jordan’s National Red Crescent Society (JNRCS) Eng. Omar Abu­Goura inked the deal worth USD 500 million.

Kuwaiti Ambassador to Jordan Dr. Hamad Al­Duaij attended the signing ceremony.

The agreement is part of Kuwait’s humanitarian initiatives to provide medical treatment to Syrian refugees, AlDuaij told KUNA.

For his part, Al­Hasawi said that the deal followed a detailed study that assessed the capabilities of the JNRCS to support Syrians in the Kingdom.
