Jordan: Health, digital economy ministries expand Digital Health Centre services


Jordan is expanding its digital healthcare footprint, as the ministries of health and digital economy and entrepreneurship on Monday announced the extension of services provided by the Digital Health Centre, linking it with seven additional public hospitals across the Kingdom.

With the latest expansion, the centre now delivers telemedicine services to 12 public hospitals and three health centres in various governorates, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

The move comes in line with directives from HRH Crown Prince Hussein to harness modern digital technologies within the healthcare system, aiming to enhance service quality while easing the burden on both citizens and medical staff.

Hospitals newly connected during this phase include Ruwaished, Northern Badia, Princess Iman–Maddi, South Shouneh, Abu Ubaida, Muath Bin Jabal and Ghor Safi. These facilities join the five hospitals linked during the first phase: Ramtha, Tafileh, Mafraq, Maan and Iman–Ajloun.

Since its launch in July 2025, the Digital Health Centre has delivered tangible results.

More than 29,000 diagnostic radiology reports were issued through its teleradiology unit, while the remote dialysis services unit has monitored over 19,000 dialysis sessions. In addition, the remote intensive care unit followed up on more than 900 patients.
