Healthcare sector advances over two years
Over the past two years, the healthcare sector in the kingdom has made extensive efforts to expand its capacities. These included establishing and developing hospitals and health centers, updating infrastructure, expanding care services and specialties, as well as implementing digital health solutions and increasing telemedicine services. Among its achievements are the opening of Prince Basma Hospital with a capacity of 504 beds, completing the first phase of the Princess Eman Hospital expansion within seven months, and beginning the implementation of the Madaba Hospital project after a 10-year delay. Additionally, the Care Program for Cancer Treatment for patients was launched at the beginning of 2026, covering 4.2 million citizens with a budget of up to 132 million dinars. Primary care services were also enhanced through the establishment of 14 new health centers and the rehabilitation of 49 others, along with developing vital hospital departments, improving patient care quality and services, and reducing waiting times through various procedures. Furthermore, the sector expanded telemedicine services, delivering 147,110 medication packages to patients, employing 2,185 specialized staff, and signing funding agreements to support sector sustainability, monitor progress in service development, improve access, and reduce the need for patient movement between regions.
