The University of Jordan is immensely proud of its hospital. The University of Jordan’s hospital is an outstanding multi-purpose unit within UJ which serves several functions at once, effectively and efficiently. Academically, it is a fully-equipped facility in which students of its medical faculties – Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Rehabilitation Sciences – gain invaluable experience, under the guidance of highly experienced, able and dedicated professors. When these students graduate, they are able to immediately embark on successful careers in a variety of medical or medical-related jobs in the country, the region and abroad, due to an education which focuses on both the theoretical and applied dimensions of knowledge. Practical training, in fact, is a strong component of study plans in all relevant medical specializations.

But the hospital is an important research arm, both for professors and practitioners who teach in the aforementioned medical faculties and who head medical clinics and units at the hospital. Because the hospital admits patients from all segments of the Jordanian society (including the most difficult cases that other hospitals are not able to handle) and from many in the region, the various research teams are able to diagnose rare cases of illness and conduct deep research on a wide variety of medical problems, thus producing original research findings which are published in the most reputable international journals.

In addition to training and research, the hospital – as has already been suggested – offers medical services to the public at large, from the Jordanian society itself and from many societies in the region and abroad. As a matter of fact, the UJ hospital is a leading (if not the leading) hospital in the country which is open to all patients. In this sense, it fulfills one of UJ’s fundamental obligations: community service. What distinguishes the UJ hospital and makes it successful and reputable is the quality of the expertise it offers and the affordable, competitive prices. It is to be emphasized, in this very context, that the UJ hospital is a public, non-profit establishment.

The UJ hospital has developed, progressed, and modernized its facilities and services noticeably over the years, always putting quality at the top of its agenda. Nevertheless, while we take pride in its remarkable achievements at the qualitative level, we are intent upon developing and modernizing it further. We will do all in our power to make the hospital not only a quality, excelling hospital, but also world-class.
