Who Runs This Place?

There's an absolutely amazing health clinic in Ramtha called the Altakaful Clinic.  It's a charity clinic that serves Syrian refugees and Jordanian people who have no insurance.  We are very impressed with them and what they do for the poor.  They are world class in the services they offer.

The opthomology room - this is as well-equipped as anything we've seen in Jordan.

They provide have dentistry, gynecology, family and internal medicine, emergency, rehabilitation, immunizations, health education, pharmacy, opthomology, pediatrics, etc. etc.  There doesn't seem to be much they have forgotten.

The clinic serves 350 patients every day.  Each person is given a card with the phone numbers of all the departments.  That way they can call ahead for an appointment. Most services cost 1 dinar.  Specialists charge 2. 

Dr. Abd, the director told us that their funding is being cut and we wanted to know what we could do to help.  We were given a list.

We still have to do some more research on the clinic, because there never was a clear answer to the question of where they get their funding.  We've heard it's from the Muslim Brotherhood.  If it is, we probably will want to help anyway.
