As part of the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Director for the Eastern Mediterranean’s flagship Initiative to accelerate public health action on substance use, WHO Jordan and the Ministry of Health inaugurated a new fitness and well-being facility at the National Centre for Rehabilitation of Addicts (NCRA) in Amman.

The newly inaugurated facility, established with WHO support, will enhance holistic, community-centered addiction care in Jordan. It offers a safe and supportive environment that promotes healthy routines, builds self-confidence and contributes to long-term recovery.

With a 40-bed capacity and a dedicated ward for females, NCRA operates under the Ministry of Health’s National Centre for Mental Health. Since its inauguration in 2001, it has served as a short-term residential and outpatient treatment centre offering medical withdrawal services, psychological support and social counselling.
