Context

In its 12th year of the Syrian crises, refugees and vulnerable Jordanians are still suffering from a lack of protection and survival services, such as health care services, financial support, mental health and psycho-social support. A vast majority of vulnerable households is at particular risk to sudden protection needs.

Conflict and displacement are driving escalating levels of sexual and gender based violence, exploitation and abuse towards girls and women. Due to the high influx of refugees, public health facilities are under pressure and overcrowded. Health needs of the population in Jordan are increasing and vulnerable Jordanians and refugees are in need of both, primary and secondary health care. Furthermore, Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLW) lack access to examination to monitor the pregnancy as well as check-ups for infants after delivery.
