Health Access and Utilization Survey Non-Syrian 2024


Jordan is currently hosting 90,000 non-Syrian refugees (66,845 Iraqis, 14,727 Yemenis, 6,080 Sudanese, 746 Somalis), representing 27 per cent of Amman’s refugee population. All the non-Syrian refugees are living in host communities in urban and rural areas, with the overwhelming majority living in the capital Amman.

In Jordan, a policy change taken by the Jordanian Government to reduce the cost of accessing Ministry of health supported services for non-Syrian refugees from the foreigner rate to the non-insured Jordanian rate. The non-insured Jordanian rate brings medical costs down by 75 per cent in some cases. This policy change is due to the support of a multi-donor health trust fund by the United States, Canada, and Denmark to the Ministry of Health. Therefore, significant efforts took place to support the integration of non-Syrian refugees to access Ministry of Health-supported services.
