Opthalmology Clinic Al-Sokhna
Al-Sukhneh Camp, established in Jordan in 1969, spans 68,745 dunams in the village of Sukhneh, located north of Zarqa Governorate. According to UNRWA records for 2023, the camp is home to 7,350 residents. The camp faces a shortage of specialized healthcare services, with residents relying on the general medical services provided by UNRWA health centers, which include a general practice clinic, a dental clinic, and a gynecology clinic.
Following a comprehensive health needs assessment of the camp, it was determined that there is a pressing need for essential healthcare services, with a particular emphasis on ophthalmological care. Eye health is a vital aspect that requires focused attention, especially in camp environments where deteriorating health and environmental conditions heighten the risk of ophthalmic diseases.
The ophthalmology clinic provides routine examinations and treatments for prevalent conditions such as ocular infections, communicable diseases, and eye injuries that may result from harsh living conditions.
The establishment of the ophthalmology clinic in Al-Sukhneh Camp represents a significant advancement in healthcare delivery, contributing to the improvement of public health in the camp and surrounding areas. This facility has expanded access to critical medical services for underserved populations. During the first half of 2024, 414 patients received care at the center, bringing the total number of patients treated since its opening to 802.
