Awaiting health committee action
The article reviews the role and performance of the Health and Oversight Committee in the Jordanian Senate, clarifying that despite its extensive authority to study health policies and oversee their implementation, its actual use demonstrates limited consultative activity and a shortfall in executing a comprehensive and transparent supervisory role. Compared to parliamentary bodies in countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada, the Jordanian committee shows weaknesses in regularly publishing evidence, numbered recommendations, and response deadlines, all of which limit its effectiveness. The article also notes that the Higher Health Council currently lacks a modern strategy and clear digital objectives, despite possessing broad jurisdiction; reviving it would require the publication of clear performance indicators and measurable results that demonstrate its achievement of health goals. It underscores the necessity of establishing an open oversight program that includes regular meetings, follow-up reports, and quantifiable indicators to enable effective coordination between health and oversight institutions, ensuring that the committee's activity transforms into an effective bridge between policy and outcomes in the Jordanian healthcare sector.
