Highlights
Syrian refugees are now charged the same fees as uninsured Jordanians for health care, which significantly decreased health care utilization by refugees.
There is an urgent need to continue humanitarian programming to cope with the immediate health needs of refugees, in addition to strengthening health systems to maintain the response.
51.7% of registered Syrian refugees are between 0 and 17 years of age; 44.7% of registered Syrian refugees are between 18 and 59 years of age and 3.6% are above 60 (UNHCR, June 2015)
