MAP Jordan holds a nutritional awareness day as part of the “Fighting Malnutrition” campaign in Talbieh/Zizia camp

Given that the anemia rate among children in the camps exceeds 35%, Medical Aid for the Palestinian Society in Jordan organized a nutritional awareness day on August 30, 2022, at the MAP Talbieh camp Medical Center to raise awareness about the risks of malnutrition and anemia, and the best foods and supplements to fight it, for each age group. The campaign, "Fighting Malnutrition," lasted for two months.

In order to educate mothers about the proper and age-appropriate nutrition for children, the nutritionist Mrs. Rand Al-Disi was invited to give a nutritional lecture. Moreover, MS Pharma donated vitamin D (Hi dee Drops) for children, and a representative from the company attended the nutritional awareness day to give an awareness lecture on the risks and symptoms of vitamin D deficiency among children and the best ways to use it. Also, NutriDar Company contributed a generous donation of nutritional supplements to the targeted children

The event was attended by Mr. Mohamed Barakat Al-Fayez, Head of the Public Relations Department, at AL Giza District, on behalf of the Giza Municipality.  the Community Police, and a group of volunteers from Makani Project who organized various entertaining activities for kids at the center.

Since 1990, the Medical Aid for Palestinians Organization has been operating and is honorably chaired by HRH Prince AL Hasan Bin Talal. MAP Jordan works to provide primary health care to Palestinian refugees in camps in Jordan. To date, MAP Jordan has managed to treat more than 1,950,000 patients.

MAP Jordan expresses its sincere gratitude to all contributors who helped make this campaign a success and brought a smile to the faces of mothers and children.
