Jordanian field hospital in northern Gaza organises blood donation campaign
The Jordanian field hospital in northern Gaza carries out a blood donation campaign in conjunction with the Kingdom's 79th Independence Day (Petra photo) AMMAN — The Jordanian field hospital in northern Gaza has carried out a blood donation campaign coinciding with the Kingdom's 79th Independence Day. The campaign was conducted as part of the hospital's ongoing initiatives to promote social solidarity and support blood banks in the Strip, amid challenging health conditions and the constant need to maintain blood supplies to ensure the provision of essential medical services, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported on Sunday. The hospital's commander said that the campaign reflects Jordan's continued humanitarian and relief efforts, with the Jordan Armed Forces- Arab Army (JAF) continuing its medical and humanitarian role in Gaza. He added that the campaign embodied a spirit of 'solidarity and loyalty' shown by JAF personnel to their leadership and homeland, in conjunction with the Kingdom's celebrations of its 79th Independence Day. The campaign witnessed a wide participation from the medical and administrative staff at the field hospital, who stressed that donating blood is a humanitarian duty that contributes to saving lives and enhances the readiness of the health sector in Gaza. The field hospital received 3,000 medical cases during May, including 15 major and minor surgeries, chronic disease follow-ups, laboratory tests, and emergency cases. These services were provided through fully equipped specialised clinics to ensure patients' needs are met efficiently. Jordan runs two military field hospitals in Gaza, one in the Strip's north, which was established in 2009 following the war in 2008. The second was established in Khan Younis in the south in November 2023 at the peak of the Israeli war of aggression on the coastal enclave that erupted on October 7, 2023. Besides the field hospitals in Gaza, the JAF established the Jordanian field hospital in Nablus in late November 2023 and has conducted over 900 surgeries and received more than 83,000 patients ever since.

The two officials were briefed on the centre's efforts in medical, therapeutic, and social services provided to all addicts seeking to receive treatment, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. During the visit, Farraya highlighted importance of following up on Royal directives to intensify efforts and enhance national cooperation to combat drugs, curb its spread, and encourage and assist addicts in overcoming their addiction crisis. The minister praised the PSD's "pioneering" and social role in establishing a specialised centre for addiction treatment, providing "advanced" addict-cantered therapeutic and psychological services and following up aftercare programmes for beneficiaries, who received free treatment at the PSD's expense. Farraya also valued the centre's systems, as well as the "strict confidentiality" that dominates treatment procedures and practices. The minister added that this policy encourages individuals and their families to "voluntarily" seek treatment without legal repercussions, which enhances their chances of recovery and reintegration into society. Maaytah stressed the PSD's continued field, awareness, and treatment efforts, as part of the national strategy to combat drugs. He noted that the PSD works in an integrated manner with various institutions to provide the necessary support to the centre to ensure continued services, in accordance with the "highest" international standards. Maaytah said that the PSD continues to fulfil its social and humanitarian responsibilities and "prioritises" establishment of two new addiction treatment centres in the northern and southern regions. He noted the PSD also plans to launch special treatment facilities within Jordan's correctional and rehabilitation centres, similar to Birin Correctional and Rehabilitation Centre. Touring the treatment centre and checking on its therapeutic, rehabilitation, and recreational facilities, the minister was briefed by the AND director on the facility's operating procedures, treatment and rehabilitation programmes and the stages to achieve recovery. The minister said the centre has already provided services to hundreds of cases and contributed to improving lives of many families.
