1,350 Life-Saving Caths
Jordanian Health Minister Ibrahim al-Badour announced that around 1,350 urgent cardiac catheterization procedures were performed during evening hours between February 1 and November 1, 2026, under a protocol that enables immediate, round-the-clock intervention instead of administering blood thinners and postponing catheterization. He said the protocol’s implementation at Al-Bashir, Hamza, Zarqa, New Salt Al-Hussein, Karak, Tafileh, and Princess Basma hospitals had accelerated treatment, improved patients’ chances of survival, and reduced complications. He added that the protocol had saved more than one million dinars in the first nine months, while reducing use of the drug Tenecteplase, which costs around 780 dinars per dose.
