How Cardiac Care in Jordan Is Saving Lives - Investing in Health is a Protective Shield

Cardiac care in Jordan is saving lives. At Al Karak Public Hospital, nurse Musab Al-Majali performs up to 8 cardiac catheterizations daily—on the frontlines of cardiovascular care for some of Jordan's most vulnerable patients. With World Bank Group support, Jordan has upgraded critical public hospitals, expanded emergency care capacity, and launched digital health systems—including electronic medical records and national health registries—ensuring quality care reaches poor uninsured Jordanians and Syrian refugees alike. As part of a global commitment to reach 1.5 billion people with quality, affordable health care by 2030, health workers like Musab are proving that investing in health is indeed a protective shield for society.
