Since its inception in 2012, Medair has played a pivotal role in the Jordanian health sector, particularly in providing essential support through cash for health (C4H) and complementary community health services. Notably, Medair stands out as a leading force, often being the primary community health provider in urban settings for refugees and vulnerable Jordanians.

The health sector has made some progress strengthening coherence between humanitarian and development approaches, through the establishment of the multi-donor account (MDA) in 2018. The MDA was established in response to a successful advocacy campaign conducted by humanitarian and development partners to persuade the government to roll back the 2018 policy of charging refugees the full price for health services, often referred to as the ‘foreigner’ rate or ‘unified’ rate. It channels donor funding as budget support to the GOJ to incentivize (and subsidize) the inclusion of refugees in the national health system.
