Al-Hawari:
We hope to have a quiet summer and mitigating measures in the coming days.
Minister of
Health, Dr. Firas Al-Hawari, revealed several advanced investments in the field
of health that the Ministry is currently working on, most notably the opening
of the emergency building and outpatient clinics in Tafila Hospital, noting
that there are a number of new and advanced ideas that will be implemented
soon, including a hospital in Madaba governorate.
He said in
exclusive statements to "Al-Anbat" that the last phase of the
construction of Ajloun Governorate
Hospital has been completed, indicating that it will be opened at the beginning
of next July.
Regarding
the patient's file and the automation of all medical consumables, Al-Hawari
said that the discussion is still in its infancy, stressing that many workshops
await us, in which the focus will be on this file in particular.
Al-Hawari
justified the issue of the enormous pressure on public sector hospitals by
saying: Government hospitals serve everyone residing on Jordanian lands, not
just Jordanians, pointing to the increase in the population in the last ten
years, especially after the influx of huge numbers of refugees from neighboring
countries, whose percentage is of the total population in the Kingdom, about
30%.
He added,
that public sector hospitals were able to provide them with health services,
knowing that tremendous pressure was placed on the infrastructure of the public
sector, which directly affected the treatment effort and many tools that serve
the government health sector.
He continued
about the royal workshops, that what we see today in cooperation between the
public and private sectors will work to absorb these pressures and give Jordan
an opportunity to grow and raise the health sector to be able to deal with all
these large population numbers.
Al-Hawari
praised the role that the private sector plays in the royal workshops in the
health sector, explaining that all the trends, challenges and new ideas being
discussed are on the dialogue table in cooperation with the private sector,
which will have a major role in formulating and setting decisions related to
the sector.
And about
the Covid-19 file, Al-Hawari stressed that it will be possible to announce
mitigating measures in the coming days, especially that we are now going
through a much better stage than we went through in previous months, in terms
of the number of patients whose have decreased in hospitals, expecting that we
will pass now in a period of calm, pointing out that this virus is constantly
confronting us with variables, and that there are continuous reviews of "Sanad"
application wearing masks and physical distancing between citizens, hoping that
we will spend a quiet summer this year.
