International Medical Corps Jordan

International Medical Corps has been responding to the refugee crisis in Jordan since the influx of Iraqi refugee in 2003 and the influx of Syrian refugee in 2012. International Medical Corps innovative services and programs address the complex needs of the refugee in both urban and camp settings, as well as vulnerable host populations. Although Jordan has one of the best health care systems in the region, the needs of vulnerable Syrian and Iraqi refugees create a burden on the national resources. Many refugees have sought residence in neighborhoods that are already facing challenges, including limited access to medical care, higher than average unemployment, substandard living conditions, and overburdened schools. Moreover, the Government of Jordan has been hosting two Syrian Refugee Camps: Zaatari Refugee Camp and Azraq Refugee Camp, in which International Medical Corps collaborates in providing critical health services
