Mrs Nifouth Al-Bahar didn’t simply start a job when she entered nursing; she pursued a purpose. With a strong desire to heal others and make a genuine difference in patients’ lives, she didn’t just join the field of nursing; she helped redefine it. 

A graduate of Princess Mona College of Nursing Nifouth joined Jordan’s Royal Medical Services determined to make a difference in the lives of patients and the future of healthcare in her country. That determination would eventually position her as one of Jordan's most respected and pioneering ophthalmic nurses. 

From the start, Nifouth was drawn to the world of eye surgery.  The precision and transformation it could bring to someone’s life. Her skills earned her a place in a historic moment—she became one of the first female military ophthalmic nurses to assist in Jordan’s first-ever corneal graft surgery. “It was a big step forward in ophthalmology here,” she says. “I worked alongside the top doctors in the country on important surgeries, and people began seeing me as one of the leading experts in this field.” 

Her passion for achieving high standards continued to grow. Nifouth received training in advanced skills, including retinal detachment and vitrectomy surgery, at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, a respected institution. She later introduced these pioneering surgeries to the Royal Medical Services in Jordan, making these treatments available there for the first time.
