About the Parkinson’s Care Association “Shallal Ra’ash” (Parkinson’s Care Association – Jordan): It is a non-profit association founded by a group of Jordanian citizens represented by the founding committee consisting of Mr. Khalil Abu Laban (a Parkinson’s patient), Minister Mona Ra’if Najem, Dr. Maher Salim, Dr. Ahmed Qadri, Pharmacist Yusuf Al-Azizi, Lawyer Salah Tamim Al-Ma’aytah, Mr. Ayman Al-Balbissi, and Dr. Doha Al-Sharafat, Associate Professor at the University of Science and Technology and a specialist in Parkinson’s disease, and the novelist Mrs. Leila Amish.

The association is an initiative that arises from awareness of the silent suffering of a group of patients facing the need for resources to alleviate their suffering, whether in terms of support, early symptom detection, or in providing essential treatments and medicines, which are often out of reach for a large segment of those suffering from the disease. The association seeks, through all possible means, to reduce the impact of this disease and its spread in our beloved society and to protect our dear homeland’s sons.
