JPS is currently taking a leading role in the provision of secondary and tertiary health services through
the well-structured referral mechanism in collaboration with the UNHCR and the UN-OCHA. Over
the last 4 years, JPS has successfully implemented 12 different projects funded by the UN-OCHA.
The referral project is planned and implemented in close coordination with the sector, UN-agencies
and its implementing partners, and other humanitarian actors is the same field.
The referral project supports secondary and tertiary health care services for vulnerable populations
including women, children, older people and people with disabilities among Jordanians and Syrian
refugees living at camps and urban areas in Jordan.
Over 16,000 Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanians received emergency lifesaving services and
reproductive health referrals through the Secondary and Tertiary Referrals Project. Around 4,000
Syrian Refugees received Cash money for health services as well.

Emergency Medical Teams (EMTs) are an important part of the global health workforce and have a
specific role. Any doctor, nurse or paramedic team coming from another country to practice healthcare
in an emergency needs to come as a member of a team. That team must have quality, training and
equipment/supplies so it can respond with success rather than impose a burden on the national system.
JPS is currently working in cooperation with the WHO to become globally classified and join the
WHO global EMT list, and become the first national, globally classified EMT team from Jordan.
Having an EMT team has the potential to provide support to the ministry of health in crises and
disasters.
