Despite significant legal progress in Jordan for persons with disabilities (PwD), women, men, boys and girls continue to face obstacles in meeting their needs and exercising their rights due to both an underfunded public system and socio-cultural and economic barriers.The demand for health services has increased over the years for the Syrian refugee community, putting pressure on the national health system, and costs remain very high. In this context, the provision of specialised services for people with disabilities remains a major concern. The aim of the project is therefore to contribute to improving the health status of Syrian refugee persons and the host community with disabilities, with particular attention to the plight of women and girls, by meeting their health needs. Furthermore, it is intended to increase access to home-based rehabilitation assistance and empower people with disabilities and their caregivers with self-help techniques in the provinces of Amman, Irbid and Zarqa. Home assistance will be provided, mobility aids will be distributed and specific training sessions will be organised for 261 people.
