UK ambassador tours Turrah Gym and Health Centre in Sahel Houran

AMMAN — British Ambassador to Jordan Edward Oakden on Thursday officially opened the Turrah gym established at the end of last year in collaboration with the Ministry of Youth, an embassy statement said.

The gym, which is a result of an assessment study of local needs carried out by community leaders living in Turrah, aims to enhance the physical and physiological abilities of women, create a safe environment for them to practice sports, establish effective relations among Jordanian and Syrian users, and provide their children with a creative play area while sporting.

The tour also included a visit to Sahel Houran Health Centre to check the extension building completed under the Leadership and Community Development Programme to increase the quality and scope of services to Jordanians and Syrian refugees living in Sahel Houran.
