SINGAPORE DONATES PROSTHETIC PRODUCTS TO JORDAN IN AID OF PALESTINIAN AMPUTEES AFFECTED BY THE CONFLICT IN GAZA

The Ministry of Health (MOH) has donated S$250,000 worth of prosthetic products to Jordan’s Restoring Hope initiative, which provides prosthetic limbs and medical care to Palestinian amputees affected by the conflict in Gaza. This is part of Singapore’s humanitarian aid to Gaza.

2.         The donation comprises 100 sets of complete prosthetic solutions including limb components and socket systems for amputees, including adults and children. The selection of prosthetic components was based on consultation with prosthetic experts from Tan Tock Seng Hospital and Jordanian counterparts.

3.         Acting Minister-in-Charge of Muslim Affairs Assoc Professor Faishal Ibrahim witnessed a symbolic handover ceremony for the prostheses on 11 November 2025 in Amman, Jordan, together with Jordan’s Minister of Health Dr. Ibrahim Al-Budour.   

4.         A Needs Assessment Team comprising seven personnel from MOH has also been deployed to Jordan to further explore areas of medical support. This follows the successful deployment of a specialised three-person medical team to the Nasser Institute Hospital in Cairo, Egypt in September 2025 to provide medical care to Palestinians who were being treated in Egypt.

5.         The donation of prosthetic products is the latest tranche of aid that demonstrates Singapore's ongoing commitment to providing meaningful healthcare assistance during humanitarian crises, while strengthening bilateral healthcare relations with partner countries.
