Al-Badur outpatient clinics exclude follow-up patients
Health Minister Ibrahim Al-Badour announced that the ministry has established new clinics at Al-Bashir and Prince Hamza Hospitals to assess patients recently transferred from health centers and other hospitals. The goal is to reduce waiting times, which previously reached up to eight months. The new clinics will specialize in internal medicine, surgery, and orthopedics, providing immediate or short-term evaluations. This will facilitate quick identification of the need for surgical intervention or non-surgical treatment. The initiative aims to improve the coordination of patient transfers and minimize diagnostic delays, especially for new patients presenting with fresh health conditions, while exempting those with chronic illnesses or cancer who are under regular follow-up. The step was implemented in high-traffic areas like Amman and Zarqa, with plans to expand later to other hospitals facing long appointment delays. The objective is to provide direct case assessments and accelerate medical decision-making, while the existing clinics will continue to operate as usual.
