Health system of Jordan is one of the most important sectors in Jordan. It has a very high level of quality and is the main pillar of the economy.
The Ministry of Health is responsible for overseeing and ensuring the health sector in Jordan. It has its own department called Health Information Technology Division (HITD) that oversees all aspects of information technology in the health sector. The HITD provides technical support to all health organizations, hospitals, clinics, laboratories and other related institutions involved in medical research and development.
In order to ensure quality, it is important that all organizations use advanced technologies that are constantly improved and developed by the HITD itself. This ensures that medical information can be accessed easily through different channels such as mobile phones or computers at any time during a patient’s stay at a hospital or clinic or even on site during an operation.
