Everyday Emergency

Rebuilding lives: Inside a specialist war-wound hospital


Listen Later

At a groundbreaking hospital in the Jordanian capital Amman, a dedicated team from Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF) work to treat and rehabilitate war-wounded people from conflict zones across the Middle East and North Africa.
Rula Marafeh, an experienced physiotherapist, shares her story from a unique project that has been saving and transforming lives since 2006.
In places such as Gaza, Sudan, Yemen and Syria, as violence pushes healthcare systems to breaking point, MSF works to evacuate patients in need of the most specialist care. Once in Amman, a spectrum of expert teams work to surgically reconstruct limbs, treat aggressive infections, teach patients to use their new bodies, and crucially, heal the unseen trauma each new arrival carries with them.
If you would like to support our life-saving medical work around the world, please visit msf.org.uk to donate. Thank you.
