AMMAN (JT) - Her Majesty Queen Rania on Wednesday lauded the efforts of Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), which yesterday began a month-long tour in the Kingdom, the first of its kind in the region.
Inaugurating an MSF exhibition at Al Hussein Cultural Centre in Amman yesterday, Queen Rania toured different sections of the display, including a nutrition and surgical tent, physiotherapy and psychological corners, as well as an exhibit featuring the organisation’s work in Haiti.
Accompanied by MSF International President Christophe Fournier, Olivier Mazoue, head of the French mission, and Colin Mc Ilreavy, head of the Dutch mission, Her Majesty watched a short film that showcased the kind of assistance MSF provides in a number of countries around the world, such as rehabilitating hospitals and dispensaries, conducting vaccination programmes, implementing water and sanitation projects, and providing training for local personnel.
Queen Rania, who is UNICEF’s first Eminent Advocate for Children, spoke with some staff members, doctors and volunteers, who briefed her about their work to ease the suffering of people caught in crises.
Twenty-five volunteers from Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, France, Switzerland and the Netherlands, among other countries, are present at the exhibition to give the public an idea of what an independent medical organisation can achieve, Valerie Babize from the MSF mission in the Kingdom told The Jordan Times earlier this week.
Her Majesty also spoke with the president of MSF International, who noted that since 2003, the organisation has offered medical treatment for about 900 injured Iraqis in Amman.
MSF has been providing orthopaedic, maxillo-facial, and plastic surgery for Iraqi war-wounded in Amman since August 2006, as part of a programme that was developed in partnership with the Jordanian Red Crescent Hospital and the Iraqi Medical Association.
Fournier also briefed Queen Rania about the organisation’s rescue efforts in Gaza and Haiti.
The exhibition will be held for two days at Al Hussein Centre before moving to Mecca Mall and then the University of Jordan Hospital, after which it will travel to the Jordan University of Science and Technology in the northern Governorate of Irbid.
The convoy, which seeks to raise awareness of MSF’s humanitarian work, is part of a series of events the organisation intends to hold in other countries in the region.
MSF, which won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999 for its work in war zones, was created by doctors and journalists in France in 1971 as an NGO to provide emergency medical assistance to people whose survival is threatened by violence, neglect or catastrophe, primarily due to armed conflict, epidemics, malnutrition, exclusion from healthcare or natural disasters, according to the MSF website.
