Jordan’s healthcare system is made up of a combination of the public, private, international, and charity sectors, as well as councils and institutions. The Jordan Ministry of Health (MoH) provides health services to 60% of Jordanians. Primary healthcare (PHC) is provided through a network of facilities managed by the MoH, including comprehensive health centers providing the broadest range of services and primary health centers and village health centers providing limited services.
