Health: 90,000 expats tested in July–August
The Jordanian Ministry of Health has reduced the turnaround time for medical examinations of foreign workers from three days to 24 hours, aiming to accelerate the screening process and rectify the status of workers within the specified deadline until the end of September. Working hours have been expanded, and Saturday has been officially designated as a working day at screening centers experiencing high traffic, which has contributed to an increase in the number of tests conducted. During July and August alone, over 90,000 foreign workers were tested—an increase of 30,000 compared to May and June. The medical examinations include screening for tuberculosis via X-rays, blood tests for HIV, hepatitis B and C, syphilis, as well as pregnancy tests for female domestic workers. Additionally, the Ministry has updated and expanded the capabilities of medical teams and staff to ensure rapid issuance of results.
