Amman, July 8 (Petra) – The third phase of a project supporting
cancer treatment for Syrian refugees at the King Hussein Cancer
Center (KHCC) in Jordan has concluded.

The project was implemented with support from the King Salman
Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSRelief).

According to a KHCC statement issued on Wednesday, KSRelief covered
the treatment costs for more than 526 Syrian refugee patients in
Jordan during the third phase.

This initiative aimed to provide the beneficiaries with necessary
medical care and support during their difficult circumstances, with
total assistance exceeding $1 million.

Nisreen Qatamesh, KHCC Director General, expressed her gratitude,
saying: “We extend our sincere thanks to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
for its ongoing humanitarian support, which has given Syrian refugee
cancer patients a real opportunity to receive treatment and continue
their journey with determination and resolve.”

“Saudi support, through the KSRelief, has been a cornerstone in
providing medical care to patients in need, embodying the highest
ideals of solidarity and humanitarian benevolence,” she noted.

For his part, Dr. Abdullah bin Saleh Al-Muallim, Director of KSRelief
Health and Environmental Aid Department, said the partnership between
the King Hussein Cancer Foundation and the Saudi center began in 2018
and has become a “pioneering model of joint humanitarian work.”

Under the agreement, he noted the total number of patients has
reached 645 Syrian refugee cancer patients, who have received
treatment across all stages of their illness.

This effort, he stated, comes as part of the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia’s efforts and the directives of its wise leadership to support
Syrian brothers and sisters both inside and outside Syria.
