Annual Report 35

“ I hope that the Healthy Community Clinic is implemented in all MoH

health centers permanently so that everybody in Jordan benefits from

its services. My health personally was improved a lot after I enrolled
within the HCC. Five years ago, I was diagnosed with diabetes, my glu-

cose levels were high. I did not know what to do and how to handle it.
Now, my glucose level doesn’t exceed 130”

- Asma Btoush, 39 Jordanian

“I was pregnant when I started attending the awareness sessions. I

used to suffer a lot from anemia but the clinic’s nurse and nutritionist
guided me through to raise my HB levels from 7 to 11. I gave birth to a

healthy child thanks to god and then to them”

Nisreen Hamada, 36 years, Syrian

“My son is a heavy smoker, he used to smoke 1 pack of cigarettes

daily. After I attended the smoking sessions, I became aware of the
harmful effect of second- hand smoking. So, I forbid him from smoking

inside the house and started supporting him to help him quit. Now he
smokes 5 cigarettes a day but the war has not ended yet”

– Lateefa Badran, 58 years, Jordanian
