Jordanian field hospital in Gaza launches prosthetic limb initiative for over 500 amputees
AMMAN — The Jordanian field Hospital in south Gaza has launched a major humanitarian initiative to fit more than 535 individuals in Gaza with upper and lower prosthetic limbs, according to the hospital's director, Mohammad Sqour. The effort, led by specialised medical and technical staff, is part of Jordan's broader humanitarian support for the war-affected population of Gaza, Al Mamlaka TV reported. Sqour said the Royal Medical Services have recently reinforced the hospital's mobile prosthetics support unit with more than 300 prosthetic limbs to meet growing demand, as the number of amputees continues to rise due to ongoing conflict. 'The unit was established in response to the increasing number of amputations caused by the war in Gaza,' Sqour noted, highlighting the initiative's foundation under the 'Restoring Hope' campaign launched last year under Royal directives in cooperation with the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organisation (JHCO). 'Fitting a prosthetic limb is a complex and personalised process,' he said, adding that it begins with an assessment of the patient's condition and the amputated limb, followed by the design of a trial walking mould to ensure proper fit and comfort.'Adjustments are made based on patient feedback before finalising the prosthesis.' 'The programme also includes psychological support to help patients adjust to the physical and emotional impact of limb loss,' he said, adding that patients will continue to receive follow-up care, including ongoing assessments and necessary adjustments to ensure long-term comfort and functionality. Sqour emphasised that the Jordanian field Hospital in South Gaza receives thousands of cases daily and plays a vital role in delivering a range of medical services. 'It continues to serve as a key pillar of healthcare in the southern Gaza Strip, offering critical support amid dire humanitarian conditions.' Jordan runs two military field hospitals in Gaza: one in the Strip's north and was established in 2009 following the war in 2008, and the second is in Khan Younis in the south, which was established in November 2023 at the peak of the Israeli war of aggression on the coastal enclave that erupted on October 7, 2023. The 'Restoring Hope' initiative was launched in September 2024 in the Gaza Strip, under Royal directives, to provide prosthetic limbs to those who have been disabled due to the ongoing war. This initiative is designed to address the critical needs of amputees in the Gaza Strip, where approximately 14,000 individuals of all ages are currently living with limb loss. In collaboration with the Royal Medical Services and 'Hakeem program' by Electronic Health Solutions (EHS), the initiative was started by the Jordanian Armed Forces – Arab Army (JAF) to serve amputees in the Gaza Strip.
