The Ministry of Health on Tuesday opened five general medicine clinics that have undergone renovation and maintenance under the “Care” project, aimed at improving the quality of healthcare services for the residents of Mafraq Governorate.

The project is funded by the European Union through Spanish cooperation with the Foundation for Child and Social Care of the Spanish Ministry of Health (FCSAI), according to the Jordan News Agency, Petra.

During the handover ceremony, Riyad Al Shayab, director of Primary Healthcare at the Ministry of Health, lauded the partnership with the EU and the cooperation of the Spanish government in supporting the healthcare sector and improving the quality of services, particularly the project’s efforts to update the infrastructure of clinics.

“We in the EU are very proud to fund the project with 22 million euros, aimed at improving the quality of primary healthcare services for non-communicable diseases,” said Patrick Lamberchts, Head of Cooperation at the European Union Delegation to Jordan.
