Indonesia launches mobile clinic to aid Palestinian refugees in Jordan
The Indonesian National Alms Agency (Baznas) has begun operating a mobile clinic service at Al Sukhneh Camp in Al Zarqa, Jordan, providing essential healthcare to Palestinian refugees.
This initiative is part of Baznas’ broader humanitarian efforts to extend support beyond Indonesia.
"The mobile clinic is part of the humanitarian missions of Baznas that do not only focus on Indonesia but also pay attention to conditions of Muslims and the international communities," said Baznas Head, Noor Achmad, in a statement on Saturday October 19.
The clinic is equipped with basic medical facilities and staffed with healthcare professionals, aiming to provide much-needed medical care to Palestinian refugees who lack access to adequate health services. In addition, it is also available to Syrian refugees and local residents in need, as reported by Indonesia’s state agency Antara.
"We hope that through this small step, we can provide big benefits, especially to the Palestinian and Syrian refugees in Jordan, as well as the local residents who need health assistance," Achmad noted.
He expressed his appreciation to the government and humanitarian institutions in Jordan for their continued support, as well as to Baznas’ partners for their contributions to the program. Achmad emphasized that the collaboration between agencies, governments, and the local community is vital for the success of humanitarian projects.
"This mobile clinic is not only a symbol of health assistance but also a representation of the spirit of mutual cooperation and our shared concern to continue to maintain the people's health and welfare, especially in areas affected by humanitarian crises," he concluded.
