The Institute for Family Health (IFH) marked the culmination of a two-year project under the REAYAH initiative, funded by the European Union (EU) through the Spanish Cooperation. The project focused on securing the rights of people with Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) for Syrian Refugees and Jordanians in Mafraq, Ajloun, and Tafilah Governorates, empowering them to lead dignified lives through specialized community activities and services.

The project, a beacon of collaboration and commitment, achieved significant milestones, including the facilitation of 240 awareness sessions, six community health bazars, 48 awareness-raising events, nine community health initiatives, and the establishment of three outdoor senior fitness playgrounds. These initiatives have not only disseminated vital information about NCDs, but also empowered communities to take charge of their health proactively.

 

 

“The European Union is committed to working with Jordanian and international partners to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and provide high-quality and equitable health care services to Jordanians and Syrian refugees alike. The IFH initiative to strengthen community awareness on non-communicable diseases is an important building block towards healthier lifestyles,” stated the EU Ambassador to Jordan, H.E. Pierre-Christophe Chatzisavas.
