Digital Health Center in Jordan, Funded by Abu Dhabi, Unveiled to Enhance Remote Medical Services
In Salt, Jordan, the National Council for Future Technology has launched the Jordan Digital Health Centre, a groundbreaking initiative that aims to revolutionize healthcare by integrating various healthcare centres and hospitals across the nation through a unified digital platform[1][2][3][4][5].
The Jordan Digital Health Centre is designed to modernize healthcare, providing digital units for dialysis, radiology, and intensive care, among others, to improve efficiency and reduce patient strain[1]. One of the centre's key features is telemedicine services, enabling patients to consult doctors remotely via voice or video calls, eliminating the need for lengthy travels or waiting hours in clinics[1].
Another significant aspect of the centre is a real-time hospital monitoring system. This system helps track public hospital capacity and medicine warehouses, ensuring optimal distribution of patients and reducing waste of medical resources[1]. Initially, the centre has been connected to five major public hospitals and three healthcare centres, with plans to expand to more hospitals and clinics nationwide in the second phase[1].
The Jordan Digital Health Centre also boasts an integrated electronic medical records management system, unifying patient data across facilities, enhancing the consistency and accessibility of medical information[2][5]. The centre has collaborated with advanced technology firms, including UAE-based Presight, to deploy AI-driven digital solutions aligned with international healthcare standards[2].
His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II inaugurated the Jordan Digital Health Centre and received a briefing about its remote medical services[6][7]. The Health Minister of Jordan, Firas Al Hawari, also provided a briefing on the remote medical services provided by the centre[8]. The Crown Prince attended a meeting at the Jordan Digital Health Centre for the National Council for Future Technology's digital committee on the health sector[9].
The Jordan Digital Health Centre is a significant part of Jordan’s Economic Modernisation Vision 2023-2025 and receives substantial funding and institutional support from the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development, reinforcing regional strategic development partnerships[2]. By implementing these plans, the National Council for Future Technology aims to create a faster, smarter, and patient-centered healthcare system that improves access, enhances efficiency, and elevates the overall quality of healthcare services in Jordan[1][2].
