AES Jordan, part of the Europe SBU, ensured their local community had access to healthcare by sponsoring a free medical day for over 1,000 residents of Amman. AES Jordan's Medical Day consisted of free medical consultations and routine medical assessments. Over 350 male, 500 female and 150 children received medical attention.
