The Sheikh Jassim Bin Jabr Al Thani Primary Health Care Center is delivering top-notch primary health care services to Syrian refugees at the Azraq camp in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, completely free of charge.
Established in 2017 through collaboration between the Jassim and Hamad Bin Jassim Charitable Foundation and the Arab Medical Relief Society in Jordan, the center is actively enhancing its services to meet the essential needs of camp residents. Regular field and inspection visits by Foundation officials throughout the year monitor the center's progress, ensuring the quality of medical services provided to patients, and addressing the necessary requirements for medicines, devices, and medical equipment. This approach facilitates the medical team in delivering high-quality services at the diagnostic and treatment levels.
The Sheikh Jassim Bin Jabr Al Thani Primary Health Care Center, inaugurated in 2017, annually caters to over 100,000 cases, offering various medical specialties covering fundamental services. These include specialized clinics in pediatrics, gynecology, general medicine, dentistry, an emergency and ambulance department, a unit for vaccines and inoculations, and a pharmacy providing free medications to visitors and patients.
The Jassim and Hamad Bin Jassim Charitable Foundation continually strives to enhance and expand the center's capacity to meet the growing demand for health services among camp residents. This ensures swift and effective responses to the various health issues they face, aligning with the highest health standards. Periodic visits by Foundation officials focus on identifying the center's increasing needs and delivering essential medical specialties for cases requiring specialized intervention.
The center goes beyond traditional medical care, actively seeking to improve the living conditions of camp residents by concentrating efforts on enhancing their overall health aspects. This commitment prompted the Jassim and Hamad Bin Jassim Charitable Foundation to implement a qualitative initiative at the service level. Notably, this includes establishing a clinic specializing in chronic diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure, providing necessary healthcare to alleviate the health and psychological effects of these conditions. This initiative aims to help patients better accept their health conditions and live more easily with them.
A significant contribution of the center involves providing vaccinations for newborns and continuously monitoring their health conditions with great attention. The center's services complement the initiative of the medical and nursing staff to raise health awareness among different patient segments, particularly offering guidance to pregnant and breastfeeding mothers.
In collaboration with the center's medical staff, the Foundation initiated a specialized department focused on educating individuals with chronic diseases, supporting their health knowledge to enable more effective management of these conditions, directly influencing their overall lifestyle.
In November, the Jassim and Hamad Bin Jassim Charitable Foundation extended social assistance worth over QR664,000 in Qatar. This assistance, provided monthly and as lump sums throughout the year, demonstrates the Foundation's keen interest in supporting projects and initiatives within Qatar. These initiatives, prioritized on the charity's map, align with the Foundation's vision of "Health and Education for a Better Life."
Prioritizing health and education, the Foundation provides financial support to institutions and associations working in these fields, with a total value of QR375,375. This includes support for individuals with chronic diseases registered at Hamad General Hospital and ongoing assistance to the Qatar Diabetes Association.
The Foundation, committed to fostering a healthy society, continues its qualitative efforts by supporting students with limited income, ensuring they can pursue their educational journey with financial aid that covers tuition fees for various educational levels in private and community schools, as well as at the university level.
Embracing a flexible and effective mechanism, the Jassim and Hamad Bin Jassim Charitable Foundation provides financial and in-kind assistance worth QR288,875 within the framework of financial and lump-sum assistance. The Foundation's sustainable initiatives, characterized by self-financing, reflect its dedication to the principle of social solidarity, ensuring continuous social assistance to poor and needy families, and easing the financial burdens they face.
