Jordan Reports 6,531 Twin Births in 2022
The rate of twin births in Jordan has significantly increased over the past decades, rising from approximately 24 twin births per 1,000 live births in 1990 to 43 per 1,000 in 2025, representing a 79% increase compared to 1990. In the same year, the Ministry of Health recorded about 6,531 twin births, with the majority of mothers aged between 25 and 34 years. There has also been a notable rise in twin birth cases among women aged 35 to 39, due to increased use of assisted reproductive technologies and biological factors related to advancing age. A twin pregnancy is considered high-risk, as it raises the likelihood of miscarriage, preterm birth, and low birth weight. This necessitates specialized healthcare and medical interventions to ensure the health of both mother and child, leading to higher costs due to the need for intensive care for newborns.
