Syrian-American Medical Society (SAMS) clinic in Zaatari refugee camp

Amani, a Jordanian women, is seen by volunteers in Marka. Amani's husband, two sons and daughter are in Syria, where she used to live with them. She had to return to Jordan when she had health problems and needed care, so she had to leave her family behind, and they are unable to come to Jordan to be with her. She is a volunteer English teacher in Jordan and talks to her family by phone, but says the connection is bad and she can hardly hear them. Two grandchildren have been born since she left whom she hasn't yet met, but she is very proud of them. She has diabetes and requires regular medical care but can't afford the testing strips. SAMS provided her with a new glucometer and testing strips to help her manage her condition. "Thanks for coming to Jordan to help us, to help all the poor people," she said. "From all of us in Jordan we would like to welcome you to Jordan." Syrian-American Medical Society (SAMS) clinic in Marka in Jordan, on Monday, April 2, 2018. (James Buck / SAMS)
