In a meeting with the head of the
International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Sarah Avrillaud, to discuss
training cooperation, Minister of Health Feras Hawari said the center, which is
slated to open next week, is the first center dedicated to offer training for
the staff of the Ministry of Health (MoH).
The center will offer MoH staff training
in accordance with the latest international standards and as per the AHA
standards.
The programs suggested would
provide the ministry's staff with the skills they need to treat urgent heart
failure cases, Hawari said, adding that the trainees will be trained at the
hands of trainers accredited by the AHA.
He said there will be practical
and paper-based exams for those who would take the programs.
The ICRC agreed to fund the
establishment of a training center at the ministry headquarters. It would offer
training on how to act in case of emergency. In addition, it would offer
training on how medical staff can protect themselves in case they were
attacked.
The ICRC also pledged to support
the MoH in its national vaccination campaign against
COVID-19 through providing
logistical support, vaccination equipment and transport support for vaccination
teams.
The ICRC also offered JD34,000
worth of medical equipment to Karak Public Hospital.
