Add to Preferred SourcesThe United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) started construction on a new health centre in Zohour area within the Jordanian capital Amman. The health centre will be constructed and equipped from generous donations received from the Saudi Fund for Development (SFD).
The actual construction activities started late in July 2019 and the health centre is expected to be functional by August 2020 and will improve access to health care for over 68,000 Palestine refugees in the area. The new health center will replace the existing, congested rented premises and will introduce the Family Health Team (FHT) – the Agency’s new approach to health care delivery.
The new health centre will be built in accordance with UNRWA standards to deliver efficient and reliable health services for all members of the community, within the context of the FHT approach, as well as introducing necessary software and required capacity to facilitate the roll-out and implementation of both the new e-health system to replace paper medical records with electronic patient files, as well as a queue and appointment system. This should allow for more comprehensive health delivery coverage and for an expansion of the Agency’s health reform more broadly.
