Monitors report positive practices at Jiza public healthcare centre

AMMAN —A Public Sector Development Ministry team has conducted an unannounced visit to a healthcare centre in Jiza, a ministry statement said on Wednesday.

The team’s report, a copy of which was sent to Prime Minister Abdullah Ensour and the Health Ministry, included several observations by the inspecting team.

Before conducting the visit, the team browsed the centre’s website and called it by phone for three consecutive days, and the response to inquiries was “excellent and quick”.

There were signs leading to the centre’s location, parking was available and there were special spots for people with disabilities, the monitors said.

The waiting room is proportionate to the number of patients, but their privacy was not respected since the door would stay open and others could see the patient being treated, the ministry statement said.

The employees, however, treated the patients properly and were available to serve them.
