Jordan's Twin Birth Rate Rises
The rising rates of twin births in Jordan reflect an increasing reliance on assisted reproductive technologies. The rate has increased from 24 twins per 1,000 live births in 1990 to 43 in 2025, representing a 79% increase. In 2025, there were 6,531 twin births recorded. Mothers in the 25-34 age group accounted for the majority of these cases, especially those between 30-34 years old, who made up 34% of the twin births. The council explained that twin pregnancies are considered high-risk, leading to higher chances of pregnancy loss, preterm birth, and low birth weights, all of which require specialized healthcare. The council called for increased awareness and healthcare services to reduce the risks associated with multiple pregnancies, as well as to improve maternal and child health indicators.
