To conduct an assessment to further assess health needs of Syrian refugees and most vulnerable host communities as well as the existing response in order to inform the definition of PU-AMI health and psychosocial integrated approach in Jordan.
Needs
A comprehensive and continuous intervention is recommended combining the provision of health care through MoH primary care level facilities to the offering of psychosocial and mental health services at the community level.
Main Findings
The assessment confirmed that significant barriers exist that prevent Syrian refugees from access quality affordable health care services. The most significant factors influencing access to health care include financial pressure and priority given to house rental costs, administrative regulations (police/MoI registration, UNHCR registration) – as well as lack of information, perception of healthcare quality including staff attitude, drugs availability, waiting time – and overall lack of services due to the saturation of existing facilities.
