Story

Challenge yourself to run for Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)'s Reconstructive Surgery Programme (RSP) in Amman, Jordan.

The Reconstructive Surgery Programme (RSP) was established in 2006 to treat victims of war and violence with complicated injuries - primarily from Iraq, Yemen, Syria, and Palestine. The hospital is unique in that it offers orthopaedic, plastic and maxillofacial surgery, as well as a package of holistic care services to ensure that people make a full physical and mental recovery. This includes physiotherapy, pain management, mental healthcare, social support, and even a school for child patients. Since its inception, the hospital treated nearly more than 6,500 patients and carried out more than 15,000 surgeries.

We invite you to join the effort to support people in need by donating to the campaign or fundraising for us. You can fundraise to the programme by creating your own individual fundraising campaign here on YallaGive and rallying your network to help provide medical assistance to those most in need.

About MSF

Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) was started more than 40 years ago by a small group of doctors who joined an international aid mission to help victims of Nigeria's civil war. They were frustrated by political interference in humanitarian aid and felt they were being silenced when they tried to tell the world about the atrocities they witnessed. Seeking an independent, impartial way to provide care to people in need, they joined a group of French journalists who were committed to the same principles and founded MSF in 1971.

Today, MSF is one of the world's leading medical humanitarian organization, delivering quality healthcare to millions of people each year. At its core, the purpose of our mission is to save lives, relieve suffering, and speak about the plight of people in distress - irrespective of race, religion, creed or political affiliation. MSF observes neutrality and impartiality in the name of universal medical ethics and the right to humanitarian assistance.
