Jordanian twin births reach 6,531 in 2025
Jordan celebrates International Twins Day, observed on August 1st, with a focus on raising awareness about the health and humanitarian aspects of twin pregnancies. Data shows that twin birth rates in Jordan have increased by 79% since 1990, with 6,531 twin births recorded in 2025. The highest rates are among women aged 35-39 years, due to the increased use of assisted reproductive technologies. Carrying twins is considered a high-risk pregnancy and requires specialized healthcare to reduce complications such as preterm birth and low birth weight, as well as providing psychological support for couples who experience pregnancy loss after medical attempts. Health authorities call for enhanced awareness and improved access to specialized medical services to ensure the health of mothers and newborns.
