Healthcare sector advances after two years
Over the past two years, Jordan's healthcare sector has undertaken extensive efforts to expand the capacities of hospitals and health centers, aiming to improve access to specialized services and reduce waiting times. These efforts encompass projects to increase capacity, modernize infrastructure, and develop digital health technologies. Major hospitals such as Princess Basma Hospital and an advanced phase of Princess Eman Hospital have been inaugurated and developed, alongside projects to expand the new Madaba Hospital. Additionally, a cancer care program called "Raya" was launched, benefiting approximately 4.2 million citizens at a cost of 132 million dinars. This program serves diverse patient groups and includes home delivery of medications. Telemedicine services have experienced significant expansion through the Jordan Digital Health Center, which provided specialized medical services to over 49,000 patients, helping to reduce the need for clinic visits and waiting times. New health centers have been established and others rehabilitated, alongside efforts to improve quality and preventive measures—such as introducing new vaccines, implementing standardized treatment protocols, and enhancing appointment scheduling procedures to ease pressure on emergency departments. Moreover, 431 health facilities have been computerized, and home delivery services for medications have been expanded. Human resource capacity has been bolstered by hiring over 2,000 staff members, in addition to securing substantial funding to support the sustainability of the healthcare sector. Overall, the data indicates that development efforts continue to enhance the quality of care, bring services closer to citizens, and reduce the burdens of travel and wait times.
