According to H.E. Petr Hladík, Czech Ambassador to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Czech Republic continues and will continue to provide assistance to Jordan in order to help to carry some of the enormous burden caused by the crises going on in its neighbourhood and a huge number of the Syrian refugees hosted by Jordan.
 

Under the Czech government’s programme “MEDEVAC” already the 5th medical team was deployed to Jordan from 7th till 15th of May, 2015. The Czech mobile team was composed of two orthopaedists, Ass. Prof. M.D. Jiří Chomiak, CSc. and M.D. Robert Jůzek, head plastic surgeon M.D. Martin Molitor Ph.D., anaesthesiologist, M.D. Mária Touficová,  specialized nurse Dana Kafková and administrator Eng. Jan Duben. Doctors from the Prague’s Hospital Na Bulovce operated successfully on twenty six Jordanian and Syrian children who suffered from serious injuries or congenital abnormalities in Amman’s Al Maqased Charity Hospital and Al Khalidi Medical Centre.

Currently another advanced team of Czech doctors has arrived to Jordan in order to schedule and prepare the upcoming 2015 missions, which are fully funded by the Czech government. For this year 2015 the Czech Government allocated 50 million Czech korunas (more than 2 million USD) for the MEDEVAC programme in Jordan. Medical missions will be executed with the participation of five outstanding and internationally acclaimed Czech hospitals – University Hospital Hradec Kralove, University Hospital Olomouc, Prague Hospital Na Bulovce, Prague University Hospital in Motol and Prague University Hospital Karlovo náměstí. These hospitals represented by different medical teams will mainly focus on operating of cardiologic, orthopaedic, plastic and ophthalmologic patients.
