Minister of Youth, Dr. Raed Al-Adwan, in the presence of Yarmouk University President Dr. Malek A. AlSharairi, sponsored the “Youth for Health” event organized by the Faculty of Medicine through the student initiative “The Good Doctors.” The event was attended by Senator Prof. Dr. Suhad Al-Jundi, MP Dr. Moayyad Al-Alaween, MP Tariq Bani Hani, and MP Dr. Abdul Nasser Khasawneh.
Al-Adwan emphasized the importance of student volunteer initiatives driven by energetic youth dedicated to renewal and development. He praised Yarmouk University’s commitment to organizing volunteer initiatives that promote awareness, protect health, and build individuals. He added that when such an initiative goes beyond the classroom, it becomes a project of awareness, expressing the ministry’s pride in and appreciation for youth volunteers across various fields.
He also commended the role played by medical students in enhancing humanity and spreading health awareness in society, considering them the bright face of a generation that combines science with compassion, knowledge with humanity. He praised the “Youth for Health” initiative, describing it as a mature youth-driven vision that recognizes that a true doctor does not wait for the patient in the clinic, but instead goes into the community to educate, protect, and support them. He called on students to continue giving, to be the heartbeat and voice of the nation, to make knowledge a path to compassion, volunteerism a bridge to generosity, and teamwork a road to Jordan’s advancement.
For his part, AlSharairi reaffirmed Yarmouk University’s belief—since its founding—that youth are the beating heart of the nation and the creative mind capable of elevating society both scientifically and humanely.
He continued: “Yarmouk University is proud to always open its doors to every creative idea and every initiative that carries goodness, knowledge, and service. It is a university that has believed—and continues to believe—in its students and in its youth, placing them at the center of its academic and societal mission.”
AlSharairi added that today’s event, titled “Youth for Health,” represents a pioneering national occasion that reflects the vision of our wise Hashemite leadership, which constantly affirms that youth are the pioneers and champions of the future. With their energy and determination, Jordan moves confidently forward in its path of building and achievement. This event also reaffirms the Jordanian state's growing interest in the health and youth sectors and translates the leadership’s directives to empower youth and provide opportunities for them to become part of the national health development system.
The event featured a discussion session with the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at the Hashemite University, Prof. Dr. Mohammad Al-Qudah, moderated by the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Dr. Jumana Al-Suleiman. The session included success stories of doctors from around the world who achieved exceptional accomplishments outside the medical field.
Al-Qudah highlighted the role physicians can play beyond medicine and their ability to succeed and create comprehensive change in political, economic, social, and other fields.
Students Ahmad Sanajleh and Huthaifa Muqabaleh, founders of The Good Doctors initiative, delivered a speech in which they spoke about the establishment of the initiative, its goals, and its activities.
On the sidelines of the event, Al-Adwan inaugurated a diverse medical awareness exhibition with participation from students of several initiatives from health faculties at the University of Jordan, Jordan University of Science and Technology, Mutah University, the Hashemite University, and Yarmouk University. The exhibition included various booths presenting medical and health topics such as heart diseases, surgery, early breast cancer screening, radiology, dentistry, and more.
