[00:02:35] Thamer Al-Anaswah, writer and political

[00:03:00] through the participation of His Majesty King
[00:03:02] of nature. This Abdullah II in the 78th

[00:03:17] In addition to the speech that His Majesty

[00:03:23] to attend the General Assembly sessions, where he will hold on
[00:03:27] its sidelines a series of meetings with leaders of states,
[00:03:30] heads of delegations, and decision-makers in
[00:03:33] the framework of an intensive diplomatic movement that reflects Jordan's
[00:03:37] the dignity of peoples in this field and in this keenness to deal with regional and international
[00:03:40] issues.
[00:03:42] architecture comes from These meetings provide His Majesty with an opportunity to discuss priority
[00:03:45] issues for
[00:03:49] story in biodiversity Israel has projects in Jordan and the region, and builder. It's not enhance coordination with brotherly and friendly countries, and support
[00:03:53] bear its responsibilities in efforts aimed at de-escalation and addressing crises
[00:03:57] years, many through political
[00:03:58] whether Iranian or Israeli, in and diplomatic means. The eyes of the international community turn this year to
[00:04:02] New York to await the deliberations and discussions
[00:04:05] of leaders on the important issues on the agenda,
[00:04:08] foremost among them armed conflicts,
[00:04:12] humanitarian crises, food security, climate
[00:04:16] and activating evening shifts in change, and sustainable and the consequences, crises, and wars in development, in addition to the future of global
[00:04:20] governance in light of rapid technological
[00:04:23] transformations. The general
[00:04:26] citizens? Definitely. First, they relieved debate of the 78th session reduce pressure on conservation programs in the of the United Nations General

[00:04:32] month and concludes on the
[00:04:36] But the experience does 28th of the same
[00:04:40] So, you are digitizing everything, for the Israeli entity in and a firm trace that month. In it, heads of state and government and ministers search for solutions to intertwined global
[00:04:43] challenges in order
[00:04:49] health facilities. How has this Jordan's position on what is happening in to promote peace, security, and sustainable development. The General Assembly's general debate
[00:04:52] is an opportunity for heads of state
[00:04:57] alleviates the and government to meet
[00:04:59] communicate with the virtual hospital at the United Nations Headquarters and discuss global
[00:05:02] issues. During it, the Secretary-General of the United Nations,
[00:05:05] António Guterres, presents the annual report on
[00:05:09] the organization's activities at the opening of the general debate.
[00:05:20] So, we watched this report. I welcome you again, Dr. Thamer. Welcome.
[00:05:24] We will start the discussion with the European tour
[00:05:28] first, then we will talk about New York
[00:05:30] and the speech to the United Nations General Assembly.
[00:05:34] First, what was your reading of this European royal
[00:05:38] visit? First, I would like to thank you for this
[00:05:40] hosting, and frankly, this visit
[00:05:44] started in France and
[00:05:48] the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
[00:05:51] In my opinion, this is not a protocol visit, and it is not a visit
[00:05:55] that falls within the framework of traditional diplomacy or bilateral relations between Amman
[00:05:58] and Paris. This visit,
[00:06:02] in my opinion, can be classified as
[00:06:05] counter-diplomacy, through which His Majesty the King seeks
[00:06:08] to make Jordan a fundamental pillar
[00:06:12] of peace in the Middle East. This visit also acquires
[00:06:16] great strategic importance in
[00:06:19] that it has many implications.
[00:06:22] We are talking about political, economic, and
[00:06:25] also security implications, because we also witnessed the signing
[00:06:28] of a joint defense agreement between
[00:06:32] Amman and Paris. Therefore, we are talking about moving from the stage
[00:06:35] of security coordination to the stage of a more strategic
[00:06:38] partnership that also allows Jordan the defensive
[00:06:44] region that we live in today regarding wars and conflicts,
[00:06:47] so that it can secure
[00:06:50] its land and sovereignty and remain
[00:06:53] stable. His Majesty the King, I believe
[00:06:57] that this visit
[00:07:00] can also be considered, in my personal opinion
[00:07:03] and view, as a strategic prelude
[00:07:07] to what will
[00:07:10] the General Assembly, as
[00:07:19] a political engineering for the European tour
[00:07:23] and then going to New York. Therefore, these
[00:07:27] ال
[00:07:31] tour undertaken by His Majesty the King
[00:07:34] only allows the Jordanian decision-maker to
[00:07:38] go to New York and make Jordan's voice heard.
[00:07:50] the Security Council, and therefore relying on prior
[00:07:53] coordination between Jordan and
[00:07:57] a country like France, which represents a large part of
[00:08:00] the European Union politically. Therefore, this
[00:08:03] tour, I can say that it was
[00:08:07] a tour in which His Majesty the King succeeded
[00:08:11] in coordinating positions between Amman
[00:08:14] and Paris. There is joint coordination
[00:08:17] and understandings on the Lebanese crisis
[00:08:21] and what is happening today in Lebanon is of utmost importance, as
[00:08:24] the Lebanese President was also present in this
[00:08:27] tour. And His Majesty the King also wants to
[00:08:31] give support to the legitimate institutions in the Lebanese
[00:08:34] state and to stay away from the issue
[00:08:38] of militias inside Lebanon, and between Hezbollah and also Israel.
[00:08:52] the accuracy, and regarding the peacekeeping forces in Beirut. And also,
[00:08:56] the French are part of these peacekeeping forces. The issue of supporting the Lebanese
[00:09:00] army in terms of legitimacy and supporting it so that
[00:09:03] it can also
[00:09:06] Lebanon. Everyone knows that Lebanon
[00:09:09] is suffering, and in light of these
[00:09:12] crises, Professor,
[00:09:16] Kingdom of Jordan, His Majesty the King is rushing to adjust
[00:09:19] the compass of these conflicts
[00:09:22] and crises so that the region may enjoy peace, because this
[00:09:25] is a real reflection on these countries. Therefore, His Majesty
[00:09:29] the King coordinated positions and engineered them in a professional
[00:09:32] political and diplomatic manner and in a smart tactical way
[00:09:36] to go to the United Nations General
[00:09:40] Assembly to translate these positions and these
[00:09:43] coordinations. This is important here, and this is my second question to you. There is now a series
[00:09:47] of meetings being held, followed by His Majesty
[00:09:50] the King's speech at the United Nations General Assembly. In your opinion,
[00:09:54] how can these meetings be used to explain
[00:09:58] the region? Regional developments, the Iran war, etc.,
[00:10:01] everything you mentioned, I mean, Iran on one side
[00:10:04] and Israel on the other. His Majesty
[00:10:07] the King, in recent times,
[00:10:10] we started to hear again about the Israeli narrative. But today, His Majesty the King
[00:10:14] is going with a joint Euro-Arab
[00:10:18] coordination and cooperation
[00:10:21] and under an international umbrella
[00:10:25] of the size of France, and this, by the way, greatly annoys
[00:10:28] the Israeli side, because the Israeli side does not want all these
[00:10:32] security arrangements and diplomatic moves of His Majesty
[00:10:36] the King. Therefore, today he went to the United Nations General
[00:10:39] Assembly with a vision for the Middle
[00:10:42] East and with a counter-narrative to the Israeli
[00:10:45] narrative, because there are also issues that were agreed
[00:10:49] upon with the French side, I believe, such as the issue of
[00:10:52] displacement, and we are talking about the issue of Hashemite guardianship.
[00:10:55] There is great harmony between these
[00:10:58] interests and these views between Amman and Paris, and also Lebanese
[00:11:02] support. Therefore, we are talking about
[00:11:06] these three issues that bother Israel
[00:11:09] at the same time. Therefore, His Majesty
[00:11:13] the King is going to defend the interests of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. He defends his people.
[00:11:16] He defends his kingdom within
[00:11:20] an international umbrella against all these conflicts
[00:11:23] and disputes that are happening today. It is true that some
[00:11:27] may ask where is the role of the United Nations
[00:11:30] in light of the non-application of international law and international
[00:11:34] legitimacy and so on, but this platform
[00:11:37] today, up to this moment, is the only one available. Therefore,
[00:11:40] we must deal with it as an international organization that has
[00:11:44] legal personality, even though it was assassinated recently.
[00:11:48] However, there is no international platform other than the United Nations General Assembly
[00:11:51] and the Security Council. And France is a member of the Security
[00:11:55] Council of the United Nations.
[00:11:59] Therefore, His Majesty the King went armed with this
[00:12:02] legitimacy and his conviction
[00:12:05] that the issue of peace is of utmost
[00:12:09] importance. How long will these countries remain in a state of conflict
[00:12:12] and war and carrying
[00:12:15] the region? I mean, the messages that you expect in the speech regarding
[00:12:19] de-escalation, protecting Jordan first,
[00:12:22] and finally, rejecting the displacement of Palestinians, for sure, for sure.
[00:12:26] What concerns His Majesty the King today are the interests of Jordan, but also
[00:12:30] the interests of the region are among the interests of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan
[00:12:33] in light of the tensions
[00:12:36] Jordan.
[00:12:39] Look at what happened in Syria, in Iraq,
[00:12:42] in Iran. All of them are reflected. We cannot
[00:12:45] separate Jordan from the region. But today, His Majesty the King's goal is to
[00:12:49] transform these regional demands in the Middle
[00:12:52] East into international
[00:13:04] resolutions. These international organizations and leaders
[00:13:09] a doubt, there is also a shift in the European position regarding Palestine
[00:13:13] and the necessity of a two-state solution. And here, His Majesty the King
[00:13:17] always emphasizes rejecting displacement of Palestinian lands and the two-state solution. How
[00:13:21] can we read the importance of re-raising these positions before the world?
[00:13:25] I mean, there is coordination not only because
[00:13:28] there is anticipation for the opening of the United
[00:13:32] Nations General Assembly or its proceedings. There is
[00:13:35] diligent work, in my opinion, by His Majesty the King regarding all these
[00:13:38] problems that the region is suffering from. But
[00:13:41] His Majesty the King invests in these positions and these meetings to confirm
[00:13:45] Jordan's position at home and abroad, inside Jordan and outside
[00:13:48] Jordan, and these are
[00:13:51] sincere royal messages that the interest of Jordan
[00:13:55] and the interest of the Jordanian people are above all considerations.
[00:13:58] Therefore, this is what concerns His Majesty the King. There are many messages
[00:14:01] for both internal and external audiences, as
[00:14:05] we have recently heard that there are certain arrangements regarding displacement and other issues.
[00:14:09] Without a doubt,
[00:14:12] the region, but in light of the rise of imperialisms in
[00:14:16] the Middle East and in light of the escalation of
[00:14:19] expansion,
[00:14:23] the region, and the violation of international law and international humanitarian law and the violation
[00:14:27] of state sovereignty, I believe that His Majesty
[00:14:30] the King will convey the voice of Jordan and the voice of wisdom
[00:14:34] and the voice of reason in the corridors of the United Nations.
[00:14:37] There are leaders and there are European leaders who are still
[00:14:41] adhering to the issue of international law, and there are
[00:14:44] question marks about Israeli practices in the region. Therefore,
[00:14:48] this effort and this great role played by His Majesty
[00:14:51] the King cannot be denied. And
[00:14:55] I mean, in every way, there is
[00:14:59] absolute support
[00:15:02] the region from the United States of America and from many countries.
[00:15:06] But Jordan also has its say, Jordan has its right to defend
[00:15:10] itself and to continue in this matter.
[00:15:14] I believe that coordinating positions is of utmost importance when
[00:15:17] His Majesty the King goes to the United Nations and restores
[00:15:20] the Arab role. And also,
[00:15:23] Jordan today, or His Majesty the King, also needs joint
[00:15:27] Arab support to support these positions. I mean, there is an expansion of tension. We are talking
[00:15:30] about Gaza, we are talking about the West Bank, Lebanon,
[00:15:33] Syria.
[00:15:35] The region's articles and repercussions on Jordan are many,
[00:15:39] politically, economically, and even
[00:15:42] security-wise. Today, the system has become violated,
[00:15:45] the security system in Arab countries. Therefore, there must
[00:15:48] be an Arab awakening. There is an awakening, but there are Jordanian preparations. What is the importance
[00:15:52] of these Jordanian preparations? Always, especially since
[00:15:56] the world knows what is happening, or we are not
[00:15:59] Switzerland, by the way. So, preparations must always be present, indeed.
[00:16:03] I mean, we are surrounded by these conflicts and these
[00:16:06] wars. Jordan is the security of the entire region. Therefore, when
[00:16:09] His Majesty the King went to coordinate and to have, look
[00:16:13] how Jordan is present diplomatically.
[00:16:16] The Aqaba meetings related to Lebanese affairs were moved
[00:16:20] and transferred to Paris.
[00:16:23] This legitimacy and credibility are enjoyed by His Majesty the King,
[00:16:26] considering that he is a symbol and an icon of peace in the Middle
[00:16:29] East. There is no Arab leader who does what His Majesty the King
[00:16:33] does in terms of diplomatic movements
[00:16:36] in support of de-escalation, as you
[00:16:39] mentioned. The issue of preserving the sovereignty of states has
[00:16:43] been violated. The sovereignty of states has no legal value,
[00:16:46] considering that the state
[00:16:52] rise of imperialisms, as I mentioned,
[00:16:55] I believe that all these charters
[00:16:58] and international laws have been violated. Therefore, the issue
[00:17:02] of re-adjusting this compass
[00:17:04] in the way or as His Majesty the King's conscience
[00:17:08] dictates, for the sake of his country's interest and
[00:17:11] its security. He is playing this role, but there must be continuous
[00:17:15] support for His Majesty the King's
[00:17:19] positions. And by the way, Professor, let's go back before the European tour.
[00:17:22] His Majesty the King's tour to the People's Republic of China
[00:17:25] preceded it, and there was a convergence of interests
[00:17:29] and a meeting on many issues, meaning agreement on
[00:17:32] the issue of Syria, on the issue
[00:17:36] of stopping the war on the Gaza Strip, the necessity of opening humanitarian
[00:17:39] aid and supplies
[00:17:43] to the people of Gaza, the issue of solving the Palestinian
[00:17:46] issue. There are international agreements
[00:17:49] that Jordan is pursuing and moving forward with, and His Majesty the King
[00:17:53] has in his mind and in his thoughts that Jordan is also present
[00:17:56] domestically. The issue of technological development, these are very important issues.
[00:18:00] When we talk about national security, we talk about agriculture, we talk about
[00:18:04] industry, we talk about technology and artificial intelligence. All
[00:18:07] of these are dynamics
[00:18:11] that His Majesty the King seeks to have, and therefore
[00:18:15] it is a dynamic pulse for these countries
[00:18:18] for Jordan's orientations in the way that Jordan
[00:18:22] can deal with, and in the way of confronting
[00:18:24] the Israeli entity within days in the United Nations General Assembly
[00:18:28] and the Security Council. Yes, I mean, I want to go back to
[00:18:32] a very important point that you mentioned, which is presiding
[00:18:35] over the Aqaba meetings in France, and also His Majesty the King presided
[00:18:39] over the French President and the Lebanese President. We want to talk more
[00:18:43] about the implications of this. How do you interpret it? I believe that Jordan
[00:18:47] was able and succeeded in activating what is called conference diplomacy. These are
[00:18:50] meetings, they are conferences, conferences, and transferring them to these
[00:18:54] countries. In other words, transferring these meetings means that there
[00:18:58] is a French interest in these meetings, and there is
[00:19:01] Jordanian, French, and Lebanese agreement on the issue or
[00:19:05] the role that His Majesty the King plays in supporting
[00:19:08] the Lebanese people, and also curbing the Israeli
[00:19:12] entity in Lebanon. I mean, Netanyahu,
[00:19:15] in the history of Israel, they have never taken an inch and given it up.
[00:19:19] Therefore, the issue of Netanyahu stopping at these matters,
[00:19:23] he does not want all these movements, and he does not want to support
[00:19:26] the Lebanese army. On the contrary, he wants to get rid of
[00:19:29] the UNIFIL peacekeeping forces because he is unable
[00:19:33] to implement Resolution 1701.
[00:19:36] Therefore, there are justifications and there is a narrative
[00:19:39] that Netanyahu and the Israeli entity convey to the United
[00:19:42] States of America about the way in which he can
[00:19:46] expand and broaden
[00:19:49] the scope of his settlement and ambitions in the Middle
[00:19:52] East. And also, I mean, the issue of
[00:19:55] the new Middle East, how he
[00:19:59] wanted any peace agreement, even the peace agreement, I don't want to get into
[00:20:02] other topics, because His Majesty's visit is more important than
[00:20:06] all topics. And Jordan's interest, but look at
[00:20:10] Netanyahu's reading of the peace agreement between Iran
[00:20:13] and the ceasefire between Iran and the United States. He worked hard
[00:20:17] to abort it, meaning he does not want any peace to be achieved in the region.
[00:20:20] He wants the region to remain in a state of rampant and continuous
[00:20:24] chaos and escalation to achieve his personal
[00:20:26] and national goals, as he believes,
[00:20:30] for the Israeli entity. Go ahead. Yes, please allow us,
[00:20:34] our dear guest, the correspondent of Jordan TV, colleague
[00:20:38] Randa is now in New York. We will go live to her, viewers. So,
[00:20:42] we have now from New York, live, Jordan TV correspondent
[00:20:45] Randa Karameh. Randa, good
[00:20:48] evening. What are the latest developments, especially
[00:20:52] His Majesty the King's visit and his anticipated speech at the United
[00:20:55] Nations?
[00:21:01] Good evening, Laila, and all our viewers,
[00:21:04] through Jordan TV and Masarat program, we return
[00:21:08] to you from a rainy, cold, and crowded New York
[00:21:11] in preparation for the United
[00:21:15] Nations General Assembly meetings. Tomorrow, His Majesty King
[00:21:19] Abdullah II will hold a series of bilateral meetings with leaders
[00:21:22] and presidents of a number of countries on the sidelines of the United Nations
[00:21:25] General Assembly meetings. These meetings will certainly focus on Jordan's
[00:21:29] relations with these countries, but they also come at a moment of extreme
[00:21:33] regional sensitivity, which places the region's developments and ways to de-escalate
[00:21:36] and restore calm at the core of its discussions.
[00:21:39] And these meetings certainly include Jordan's positions
[00:21:42] on the war with Iran and its repercussions
[00:21:46] on the region's security and stability, in addition to the danger of Israeli
[00:21:50] practices in the Palestinian territories, Syria,
[00:21:52] and Lebanon, and the risks of policies aimed at displacing
[00:21:56] Palestinians from their land. The continuation of the state of
[00:22:00] only threatens the region's security but also has direct repercussions
[00:22:04] on its economies, and we saw that on the Jordanian
[00:22:08] economy and its impact during the past years. His Majesty the King
[00:22:11] will also continue his meetings on Tuesday before
[00:22:14] delivering his speech to the United Nations General Assembly as
[00:22:18] the second speaker.
[00:22:20] This participation is of particular importance. The General Assembly is not only
[00:22:24] a platform for presenting positions, but also a space for direct
[00:22:27] communication between world leaders and rallying more effective international support
[00:22:31] for the region's crises. From here, Jordanian participation carries
[00:22:34] a clear message about the need to intensify international efforts
[00:22:37] to de-escalate and prevent the expansion
[00:22:40] of the confrontation and to work to restore security and stability.
[00:22:44] Laila, we will keep you and Jordan TV viewers informed of all
[00:22:48] the details of these meetings tomorrow and certainly the anticipated
[00:22:51] speech on Tuesday. Be with us for sure from New York,
[00:22:55] live. Thank you very much. Thank you, Randa. We will certainly
[00:22:58] be with you step by step. Thank you very much. You were with us
[00:23:02] from New York, Randa Karamah. Doctor,
[00:23:08] meeting, His Majesty will be the third
[00:23:11] speaker, and this is an important issue.
[00:23:15] What is the significance of all these issues or
[00:23:19] how can we interpret the diplomatic movement and all
[00:23:22] these efforts? I mean, let's summarize them at the end of this. I want to go back
[00:23:28] last year at the United Nations General Assembly when he warned the international
[00:23:31] community of the region's slide into conflicts
[00:23:35] and wars. Also, in other words, the expansion of conflicts
[00:23:38] and wars in the region. His Majesty
[00:23:41] the King will remind the leaders
[00:23:44] of what he said a year
[00:23:46] ago, that today it is the responsibility of the international community.
[00:24:00] These conflicts do not only affect developing countries or countries in the region
[00:24:03] only. No, they cannot be considered or taken in this way or this perspective.
[00:24:07] They have reflected on the American domestic scene, entered the European
[00:24:10] domestic scene, harmed the closure of the Strait of Hormuz,
[00:24:14] and harmed all countries of the world. Therefore, this
[00:24:18] issue of having international relations that respect
[00:24:22] the law, respect international law and international humanitarian law, and do not violate
[00:24:27] framework, and that
[00:24:30] it is also necessary that these organizations,
[00:24:34] the international organizations, do their work and
[00:24:37] act in a way that avoids
[00:24:40] favoritism and bias in this matter, and the process
[00:24:44] of double standards that Israel always
[00:24:48] relies on in its policy, in its conduct within
[00:24:52] political, diplomatic, and ethical work.
[00:24:55] And I believe that His Majesty the King's speech
[00:24:58] will be comprehensive
[00:25:00] and general regarding the Middle East
[00:25:06] the region. May God protect His Majesty and
[00:25:10] may God protect Jordan, and we always wish for peace for our people
[00:25:14] and for our region in general, and for the whole world. We will all certainly
[00:25:17] await this speech. Thank you very much. I thank Dr. Samer
[00:25:21] Al-Anaswah, political analyst and writer. Thank you very much. You are welcome.
[00:25:25] We will now take a break, viewers, after which we will discuss the second topic of our episode. Stay with us.
[00:25:52] Every day we hear a lot about economic challenges
[00:25:54] and opportunities.
[00:25:58] We will talk about your problems and see where
[00:26:01] we have reached.
[00:26:06] Mashallah, the fast transit system really allowed
[00:26:09] us to get to our destinations quickly. Oh, I wish government transactions
[00:26:13] were also like Ba, all on the phone. Our youth's
[00:26:17] dreams, how can we achieve them
[00:26:20] and how can we reach
[00:26:23] them? We will be with them
[00:26:25] and take their opinions.
[00:26:44] Positive ideas have always been firmly established. A weekly
[00:26:48] window through which we open many
[00:26:50] files
[00:26:54] with field reports, accurate information,
[00:26:57] and polling your opinions for research
[00:27:00] and analysis and following up on developments. 60
[00:27:04] minutes. Events from different angles.
[00:27:44] Good evening, viewers, and welcome again. We continue with you on Masarat,
[00:27:48] and now to the second topic of our episode. New health
[00:27:51] centers, facilities that have been rehabilitated, evening shifts,
[00:27:54] pharmaceutical services delivered to homes, in addition to expanding
[00:27:58] the scope of digital transformation. All these steps raise a fundamental
[00:28:01] question: To what extent have these measures actually reflected on the citizen's
[00:28:07] healthcare? To talk about this topic, we are pleased to
[00:28:11] welcome our guest in the studio, Dr. Riyad Al-Shiyab, Secretary-General
[00:28:14] of Primary Healthcare and Epidemics. Good evening and welcome,
[00:28:17] Doctor. Good evening. May God give you
[00:28:21] report, then we will begin our discussion and conversation. Let's watch
[00:28:24] the report. From hospitals to health
[00:28:28] centers, the health sector witnessed in the past two years a significant
[00:28:31] expansion in health facilities in all governorates
[00:28:35] of the Kingdom. In the north of the Kingdom, Princess Basma
[00:28:38] Hospital was opened and developed with a capacity
[00:28:41] of 504 beds, while the first phase
[00:28:44] of the expansion and modernization of Princess Eman Government
[00:28:48] Hospital was completed in seven months. In Madaba
[00:28:51] Governorate, the construction of the new
[00:28:54] about 10 years of delay, while a department for open-heart
[00:28:58] surgery was established and equipped at Zarqa Hospital. In the field
[00:29:01] of healthcare, the Care program for securing
[00:29:04] cancer treatment came into effect at the beginning of this year
[00:29:08] to include about 42,000
[00:29:10] citizens at a cost of 132 million
[00:29:14] dinars. Digitally, remote consultation services expanded,
[00:29:18] and about 49,000 patients benefited from
[00:29:21] the remote diagnostic imaging service, in addition to heart,
[00:29:24] endocrine, intensive care, nutrition, and dialysis
[00:29:27] services. 14 new health centers were also
[00:29:31] established, and 49 centers were renovated
[00:29:35] in various governorates, in addition to computerizing
[00:29:38] 156 additional health facilities,
[00:29:41] bringing the total number of computerized health facilities to
[00:29:44] 431 facilities. The Ministry of Health is working
[00:29:47] to develop services and enhance
[00:29:51] its ability to provide its services better
[00:29:54] to citizens during work. In the past two
[00:29:59] facilities belonging to the Ministry of Health have been opened, which
[00:30:03] have helped and enabled the Ministry of Health to develop its services. The bed
[00:30:06] occupancy rate has increased by 10% in the past two
[00:30:10] years. The measures also included strengthening
[00:30:13] the drug stock and expanding the service of delivering medicines to homes,
[00:30:18] the health centers surrounding Al-Bashir Hospital, Prince
[00:30:22] Faisal Hospital, and New Zarqa. In the field
[00:30:25] hospital in Amman, a dialysis department was established with
[00:30:28] a capacity of 40 beds, and intensive care with 44
[00:30:32] beds, and emergency and ambulance with 70 beds. Also, two
[00:30:36] new vaccines were introduced to the national vaccination program, and unified
[00:30:40] protocols were launched for the treatment of cancer, heart attacks, and
[00:30:43] strokes. The Ministry of Health aims, through
[00:30:47] royal directives and
[00:30:50] governmental directives, to provide a service
[00:30:53] at an ideal time, to provide a service
[00:30:57] that patient's
[00:31:00] and citizen's hardship of moving from place to
[00:31:04] place, to provide a distinguished service.
[00:31:08] Between facility expansion, digital transformation, and strengthening
[00:31:11] staff and services, health sector development projects continue with the aim
[00:31:15] of improving citizens' access to healthcare, reducing waiting
[00:31:18] times, and the need to travel between governorates. Muhammad
[00:31:22] Al-Lunsi, Jordanian TV.
[00:31:24] So,
[00:31:29] we watched this report. I would like to welcome you again, Dr. Riyad. Welcome, and good
[00:31:32] evening. We are talking about two years where we saw,
[00:31:36] the report summarized briefly, the most
[00:31:39] prominent achievements: 14 new health centers, 49
[00:31:43] centers were rehabilitated, and their rehabilitation and maintenance took place during the past
[00:31:47] two years. If we were to talk about the most prominent, or what actually changed at
[00:31:51] the level of primary healthcare provided to the Jordanian
[00:31:54] citizen. Good
[00:31:57] the hosting. Welcome. It's an opportunity for us to express our achievements in the Ministry
[00:32:01] of Health. Yes, as you know, Madam,
[00:32:05] the past two
[00:32:08] years a series of projects, true,
[00:32:11] and decisions and programs that exist at the level of the Ministry of Health.
[00:32:15] All of this is to expand the capacity of
[00:32:18] hospitals and health centers.
[00:32:21] In the last two years, 14 health centers were established in
[00:32:25] different regions of the Kingdom. These centers
[00:32:29] currently are operating
[00:32:31] and are fully
[00:32:35] staffed with medical personnel, yes. And these
[00:32:38] centers serve the citizens in that area. Yes, yes. They provide them with complete
[00:32:42] and integrated healthcare. And with the directives
[00:32:45] of His Excellency the Minister, we always strive to provide comprehensive healthcare
[00:32:50] hospitals. We provide these centers with specialists
[00:32:53] and general practitioners, and we provide laboratory
[00:32:57] services, dental services, maternal and child care, and
[00:33:01] complete and integrated primary healthcare for the citizen, so that we
[00:33:06] the hospital currently. And thank God, we now have a sufficient number of
[00:33:09] specialist doctors and family doctors who have been distributed to comprehensive
[00:33:13] health centers and some primary health centers who provide services and evaluate the patient's
[00:33:18] the health centers, true. If there was
[00:33:22] a situation, as you know, primary
[00:33:25] healthcare, which is the health center, is the main gateway
[00:33:28] for the citizen to first receive the service,
[00:33:31] providing the service. Our comprehensive
[00:33:35] health centers across the Kingdom are like mini-hospitals.
[00:33:38] Yes, when a Jordanian citizen goes to these centers,
[00:33:42] they are received by a general practitioner, and if they need a specialist,
[00:33:46] they are referred to the specialist in the same center and their condition is
[00:33:50] evaluated, necessary medical tests are performed, and necessary radiological tests are performed, and this
[00:33:53] condition is diagnosed. They can get their treatments from the same
[00:33:57] center and go home. Yes, cases that require
[00:34:00] hospitalization or follow-up by some specialists in
[00:34:06] God, through the digital system, the electronic
[00:34:09] system that we currently have, transfers to hospitals have become
[00:34:13] easy and in coordination with the doctors present, and
[00:34:15] through as you know, we have
[00:34:19] the digital center in the governorate
[00:34:22] of Salt, which is also a
[00:34:24] virtual hospital, through which
[00:34:28] remote communication and medical treatment take place. So, first of all, to solve
[00:34:32] the problem, your goal
[00:34:35] hospitals because there was a lot of pressure, so you went for the
[00:34:39] centers. And what matters to me is that the citizen gets a complete and integrated service when they enter a health
[00:34:43] center. Their condition is followed up, cases are
[00:34:46] classified. 80% of medical cases are
[00:34:50] treated in health centers and they receive their treatments, and there is
[00:34:54] no need for hospitalization, there is no
[00:34:57] need. However, the critical cases
[00:35:01] are not to forget that we also activated them at the governorate
[00:35:04] level. Of course, the 49 centers that were maintained and expanded at the same time, these centers
[00:35:08] were also expanded in order to expand
[00:35:12] healthcare services available from specialized clinics
[00:35:15] and dental services. Currently, in our health centers, dental services are provided
[00:35:19] in a comprehensive manner by all dental specialists, from root canal treatment to orthodontics
[00:35:23] to prosthetics. There is no need for patients
[00:35:27] to go to the hospital, as the service is available and close. And as the Ministry
[00:35:31] of Health, we are keen to alleviate the suffering of citizens. And truly, my question to you is, did
[00:35:34] these measures in health centers
[00:35:37] hospitals and help
[00:35:41] citizens of the hardship of moving from governorate
[00:35:44] the citizen's suffering of receiving treatment close to home.
[00:35:47] Right. Third, if the patient needed any
[00:35:50] treatment, yes, or for example,
[00:35:54] the doctor in the center can refer
[00:35:56] them to a doctor. We have a program
[00:35:59] to communicate with the virtual hospital for consultations
[00:36:03] and X-rays, and even for endocrine diseases. So, a patient
[00:36:07] might come to this health center and not find the specialist there, but
[00:36:11] the family doctor there can
[00:36:14] and the specialist, whether an x-ray doctor or
[00:36:18] an endocrinologist. And through that,
[00:36:20] consultations and remote medical treatment
[00:36:24] are carried out, benefiting citizens who have entered this
[00:36:27] system. I can give you numbers as well. How many doctors, how many beneficiaries of this
[00:36:30] service? And currently, we are working, with the directives of His Excellency the Minister, to expand this remote
[00:36:35] in governorates and other areas. Of course, you answered
[00:36:39] my question about the governorates. I was going to ask about it separately. So, by developing
[00:36:43] health centers in the governorates, you have relieved citizens from having to travel
[00:36:46] to the capital. This is our main role, that the citizen receives their service in
[00:36:50] their area. Okay, I also have
[00:36:54] a question for you. Reducing waiting
[00:36:58] periods is one of the main goals for one of the most important goals that the
[00:37:01] Ministry of Health seeks to reduce congestion, especially in hospitals. Yes,
[00:37:04] okay. And activation has been done currently. So, it's a
[00:37:07] plan that exists in the Ministry of Health and will be generalized to all governorates in the Kingdom.
[00:37:11] And currently, under the directives of His Excellency, we have started working
[00:37:15] in the capital governorate, Amman. Yes, six
[00:37:19] centers have been activated for the
[00:37:22] 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Okay.
[00:37:25] The peak period when
[00:37:27] there is a medical peak, when Al-Bashir has the most cases that reach
[00:37:31] Al-Bashir Hospital in the evening, and Prince Hazem Hospital in the evening, between
[00:37:35] 4 p.m. and 10 p.m. So, you created a new
[00:37:38] pattern in health centers. People now go to our centers, which are covered by specialists
[00:37:42] and general practitioners, and the service is provided as
[00:37:45] it is in the morning period. Okay. And currently, approximately 20,000
[00:37:49] to 20,000 citizens visit these centers
[00:37:53] in the evening period monthly. Yes. Let me go back to the issue of telemedicine.
[00:37:56] Let's go back.
[00:38:01] The numbers for telemedicine depend on whether they are for
[00:38:04] consultations or for
[00:38:07] specialized consultations. The number is
[00:38:11] 4948.
[00:38:13] 49. Yes, yes. Good. This is in terms of
[00:38:17] who benefited from its critical care service, who are ICU
[00:38:20] patients. 2441, even
[00:38:22] critical care has 528 heart
[00:38:26] disease cases that benefited from
[00:38:29] the process
[00:38:33] سنويا هذا الارقام سنويه والغدد الصمه
[00:38:36] 975 اوكي حتى التغذيه نحن عندنا
[00:38:39] بنتابعها 111 استشاره اللي موجوده من خلال الطباء عام بعد
[00:38:43] حاليا نعمل توسع عليها على مستوى المملكه
[00:38:46] حلو على مستوى المحافظات نعم وان شاء الله انه بالايام القريبه سوف
[00:38:50] تكون نتائج افضل عندي سؤال عن المواطن المريض اللي بيجي هل
[00:38:53] بيقتنع بالطبابه عن بعد الطبابه عن بعد طبعا طبعا لا بسال يعني
[00:38:58] idea at first,
[00:39:02] for example, it might be at first, but you're talking about numbers, 49. I mean, I'm the Secretary-General of the Ministry of Health and responsible for health centers, but I tell you that
[00:39:09] the governorates, are the same
[00:39:11] the centers in the capital
[00:39:14] governorates. There is no difference. The same services
[00:39:17] are provided. Telemedicine, when I have telemedicine in the
[00:39:21] northern Jordan Valley, and I receive a patient with chest pain,
[00:39:25] and we do an ECG and enzymes,
[00:39:29] a cardiologist's consultation. The cardiologist can assess whether this patient needs
[00:39:32] hospital directly for a cardiac catheterization
[00:39:36] and to save the patient. So, many citizens have benefited from this
[00:39:40] stage. Of course, of course. Perhaps the beginning is difficult, but when you see the solution in front of you,
[00:39:44] it saves you effort and saves you time. This is very important. Yes, currently
[00:39:47] in Zarqa governorate, we also have six health centers. These centers also
[00:39:51] operate during the evening period. Yes.
[00:39:54] And they have significantly reduced the burden, approximately between 15,000 to 16,000
[00:39:57] cases monthly visit these centers in the evening
[00:40:01] period. This has relieved Prince Faisal Hospital of congestion and also reduced
[00:40:05] congestion at Zarqa Governmental Hospital.
[00:40:07] Zarqa Governmental Hospital currently, thank God, there was always a shortage of beds
[00:40:11] and there was always pressure between hospitals. Currently, we strive to provide
[00:40:15] the largest, meaning we strive not to have a situation where the disease classification
[00:40:19] and patient assessment limits the process of admission,
[00:40:23] limiting it when there are beds available. The diagnosis, the correct
[00:40:26] medical diagnosis.
[00:40:37] cardiac catheterization, yes, meaning the existing 18,000 catheterizations during a year, during a year, during a year,
[00:40:39] yes. 200 and
[00:40:43] 200 500 of those who underwent catheterization, meaning emergency
[00:40:47] cases, acute approximately
[00:40:49] 352 cases. Yes, in addition to heart
[00:40:53] surgery cases, which are performed, I expect 27
[00:40:56] cases have been done. Yes. Zarqa Governmental Hospital, heart
[00:40:59] surgery. This service is currently provided in our governmental
[00:41:02] hospitals in other governorates outside the capital, of course. Of course. Okay.
[00:41:08] moving towards computerization. Now, when we talk about computerized
[00:41:11] health facilities, it has reached 461
[00:41:16] digital transformation affected the work of the centers and the patient's experience? We consider
[00:41:20] both sides, meaning the center is important and the Ministry
[00:41:23] of Health is also important to the Jordanian citizen. Certainly, sir, we currently have
[00:41:27] approximately 595 health centers geographically distributed across
[00:41:31] the Kingdom. Currently, we have approximately
[00:41:34] 393 computerized health centers.
[00:41:37] The governance system has 31 computerized hospitals.
[00:41:40] Thank God, electronic communication and referrals have become smooth and easy.
[00:41:44] And it is very easy to identify the patient's file by
[00:41:48] entering the number, everything appears, even the medication system, treatments, and distribution
[00:41:51] of medications, and the drug supply chain that we have. When I enter the Amman
[00:41:55] Comprehensive Center, I get my medication. I can't go get it from any other center. Oh, now
[00:41:59] because I, because on the Hakim system, I took it, it's set for every 30 days to come
[00:42:02] and get medication for chronic diseases. After 31 days, I get it. In the previous
[00:42:05] days, I used to go to the Amman Comprehensive Center, get it on my insurance, then go to
[00:42:09] receive more medication. So, it was allowed. Now everything
[00:42:13] is clear. This controlled the matter. Good. And the medicine delivery service
[00:42:17] to homes. This is also an excellent service. I mean, honestly, I
[00:42:21] heard from citizens how happy they are with this service. You're talking about
[00:42:24] this service exceeding 147,000 individual
[00:42:27] medication packages. So, you've relieved a lot of people who used to come in the morning and wait in line to
[00:42:33] system, and the medication package is delivered to their home. 147,000
[00:42:37] and 147. Mm.
[00:42:40] vacation with your family through home
[00:42:43] delivery. Through your program and through
[00:42:46] Jordanian TV, I would like to send a message
[00:42:49] to especially those
[00:42:53] who suffer from chronic diseases and who need to go to
[00:42:56] health centers so that they can receive their medication via delivery
[00:43:00] for two dinars. It reaches you. Yes, I mean, if you are being treated in
[00:43:03] Al-Bashir Hospital and need medication, there is no need to come from Karak, Irbid, Aqaba,
[00:43:07] Ramtha, or any region. You can receive
[00:43:10] your medication for two dinars from any place, any governorate.
[00:43:14] Two dinars, and you get all your medications. And if there is a shortage,
[00:43:17] how much should they order online? No, it's 10 days before the medication runs out. You order
[00:43:21] it, and you pay
[00:43:24] within four, within 24 hours. You pay after
[00:43:27] 24 hours, and your medication arrives. And if there is a shortage of any medication, you can communicate
[00:43:31] through the platform, and your medication will arrive. It must be replaced. Ah, for example,
[00:43:34] a shortage, for example, a diabetes medication is not available,
[00:43:38] there is a substitute.
[00:43:43] They can communicate with the relevant party through the platform, and all medications will reach them. This
[00:43:47] first of all reduces congestion in hospitals and reduces congestion and suffering for the citizen
[00:43:51] themselves, as their medication reaches them. Of course, of course. We are also talking about
[00:43:54] civilian and military patients.
[00:43:58] Look, we in the Ministry of Health provide services to all Jordanians. We are
[00:44:01] 12 million, 13 million. We provide services to health centers.
[00:44:04] The health centers located geographically across
[00:44:07] the Kingdom for the capable and the less capable, and for military and civilian insured,
[00:44:11] they receive the service. Yes, certainly, yes. And we even have checkups, meaning
[00:44:14] 40 piasters, meaning it's not a lot. Yes, I mean, bless you. I am sure
[00:44:18] everyone who is watching and everyone who is, on the ground, the achievements are honestly
[00:44:22] there, that you are working diligently at the ministry, and the
[00:44:26] future will bring important projects
[00:44:29] to improve the experience of the Jordanian patient
[00:44:32] hospitals. Certainly, we are a service ministry that works 24
[00:44:36] hours a day, and hopefully I mean,
[00:44:40] the expansion
[00:44:43] of projects, health facilities, services, and strategic
[00:44:46] plans, and the ministerial team led by His Excellency
[00:44:49] the Minister, hopefully it will be clear on
[00:44:52] the ground. Our duty as media is always to highlight this great
[00:44:56] role you are playing. May God give you health and wellness. Thank you. Thank you,
