The Syrian armed conflict broke out in 2011 and quickly deteriorated. Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) runs an emergency trauma project in the Ministry of Health hospital in Ar Ramtha, Jordan, less than five kilometers from the Syrian border. At this facility patients from the Syrian armed conflict receive treatment for blast- and gunshot-injuries. Wounds are treated according to the International Committee of the Red Cross war surgery protocol (Giannou and Baldan 2010). Wound management and healing has been difficult and time consuming, often complicated by infections and antibiotic resistance.
