His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II on Tuesday inaugurated the Jordan Digital Health Centre in Salt, which was established as part of the National Council for Future Technology’s efforts to raise the level of medical services provided to citizens.

According to a royal court statement, the Crown Prince toured the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development-funded centre, which includes digital units for dialysis, radiology, intensive care and telemedicine services, and seeks to save time and effort for patients, and improve access to specialised care for rare medical specialities.

His Royal Highness listened to a briefing by Health Minister Firas Al Hawari about the remote medical services provided by the centre, whereby patients can communicate through voice or video calls with doctors following diagnosis to receive medical consultations.

The minister said the centre has been connected to five major public hospitals and three healthcare centres as part of the first phase, adding that the second phase will expand to connect other public hospitals and healthcare centres.
