Event Description

Jordan’s forthcoming congress on medical tourism and wellness has been the result of decades of attention focused on the standards and quality of its healthcare services. The Kingdom has long been known for its high standards and quality of medical care, affordable healthcare services and its high number of internationally trained, board certified and multilingual physicians and nursing staff.

For years, Jordan’s health sector has increasingly been visited by regional and international patients seeking competitive medical fees and highly advanced medical services. In 2010, Jordan was recognized by the World Bank as the leading regional destination for healthcare, and the fifth medical tourism destination worldwide.

Today, the Kingdom of Jordan’s attraction as a healthcare hub is bolstered by a growing string of internationally accredited hospitals. Geographically, Jordan is also home to some of nature’s best health spots located in a landscape largely unchanged since biblical times: the healing waters of the Dead Sea and the therapeutic hot springs of Ma’in. In the past decade, ultra-modern health resorts and spas that meet international health standards have sprouted alongside these natural health hotspots to cater to wellness clients seeking alternative healthcare treatments.

At the crossroads of three continents, and regionally central, Jordan has doubled its efforts over the years to increase awareness of its excellence in the medical sector. The Kingdom’s political and social stability have been an overriding factor in the sector’s ability to move forward and to step up efforts where needed.
