AMMAN — Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) on Thursday inaugurated a clinic for chronic diseases in Ramtha to offer healthcare services to Syrian refugees as well as Jordanians who do not have health insurance.

Ramtha District Governor Badr Qadi said MSF was the first to receive Syrian refugees and provide them with necessary assistance, highlighting the negative social and economic impact of the refugee influx on the district, which houses some 70,000 Syrians, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

Manuel Lopez-Iglesias, head of the MSF mission to Jordan, said the clinic is aimed at alleviating the burdens on host communities, Petra added.
