Kuwait Finance House (KFH) participated in supporting the 3rd Kuwaiti Relief and Medical Campaign in Jordan through its voluntary team which comprised a team of Kuwaiti doctors and consultants. The campaign is organized by Kuwait Red Crescent Society in coordination with the Jordan Red Crescent.

This participation represents KFH`s social role and its endeavor to enhance humanitarian activities at all levels as per the cooperation, support, coordination, and strategic partnership agreement signed recently by KFH and Kuwait Red Crescent.

The Kuwaiti medical team was able to perform, in cooperation with the specialized Jordanian hospital in Amman, more than 200 major and delicate surgical operations in different cases which required immediate surgical intervention.
