At the beginning of December 2017, the group of specialists from the Hospital Na Bulovce closed the curriculum of a medical program of the Ministry of Interior of the Czech Republic MEDEVAC in 2017. In 2017, 14 such groups from various Czech hospitals came to Jordan, to provide medical care to Syrian as well as Jordanian patients, who would not have had a chance to afford the treatment they need. In total, there had been 875 surgeries performed on 855 patients during 2017. These missions had greatly promoted the reputation of the high expertise of the Czech doctors. The Czech Republic is considered a significant contributor to the solution of humanitarian consequences of the critical situation in the region. Preparing of the schedule for the year 2018 is currently in process.

These medical teams visited Jordan during the second half of the year 2017:

1.    A ophthalmologic team from the Military University Hospital (M.D. Jiří Pašta, nurse Věra Pilíková) had treated 115 patients during the period of 11.-19.9. 2017.

2.    Plastic surgeons from Hospital Na Bulovce (Chief M.D. Martin Molitor, M.D. Iveta Pospíšilová, scrub nurse Dana Chlachulová), were focusing on surgeries of 23 injured Syrian refugees in the Palestine Hospital, from 20th to 29th of September 2017. The team was accompanied by manager of the Hospital Na Bulovce, Mr. Jan Duben.

3.    A team of traumatologists of the University Hospital Olomouc (M.D. Petr Špiroch, M.D. Jaromír Freiwald, M.D. Pavel Korpa) from 26th of September to 7th of October 2017 performed successful surgeries on 14 patients in the Al–Khalidi Hospital & Medical Center.

6.    Surgeons from the Military University Hospital (M.D. Václav Vaněček, M.D. Petr Vašek, M.D. Tomáš Henlín, M.D. Jan Píchal and scrub assistant Jan Alt) were focusing on the joint surgery and joint replacement surgery, which were considered unique by some of the Jordanian doctors. The team had performed 19 surgeries from 15th to 25th November 2017.

7.    Orthopedists from the Hospital Na Bulovce (M.D. Michal Burian, M.D. Monika Fridrichová and scrub nurse Dana Kafková) performed 30 successful surgeries to 14 patients in the Al–Khalidi Hospital & Medical Center. The team was accompanied by administrator Mrs. Ivana Mádlová. 

8.    A plastic surgeon from the University Hospital Vinohrady associate professor M.D. Andrej Sukop came to Amman, to observe and consider the system of cooperation, working conditions and selection of patients for a planned mission of the University Hospital Vinohrady to Jordan in 2018.

A non-negligible factor contributing to the successful process of MEDEVAC is cooperation with Jordanian orthopedic surgeon M.D. Watheq Al Qsous, who significantly contributes to the synchronization of Czech and Jordanian medical teams in order to provide a comprehensive treatment for each patient.
