AMMAN — Prime Minister Jafar Hassan on Tuesday conducted a field tour of four sites in the Naour District, inspecting industrial, health, youth and social institutions.
The tour began with a visit to Nutridar Company, a national investment established in 1994 and valued at JD20 million, which specialises in the production of milk and baby food and currently provides around 120 job opportunities for Jordanians, according to a Prime Ministry statement.
During the visit, the Prime Minister discussed ways to support the company in expanding its exports to new international markets and reducing production and energy costs. Nutridar currently exports around JD6 million worth of products to 11 Arab countries.
Hassan also visited the Our Lady of Peace Centre for Persons with Disabilities, where he commended the quality of services provided to individuals with disabilities across all age groups. He directed the expansion of the centre to accommodate children currently on the waiting list and to widen its scope to include more beneficiaries.
The centre offers services such as early intervention, speech therapy, physical therapy, and autism care, in accordance with its operational capacity. It also runs branches in Amman, Zarqa, Ajloun, Aqaba, and Mafraq.
Accompanied by the minister of education and higher education and scientific research, the prime minister toured the centre’s various departments and reviewed the services available to individuals with disabilities.
At a primary health centre in the district, Hassan called for upgrading the facility, noting the absence of a permanent physician. He also instructed that the infrastructure be rehabilitated, as the centre currently operates out of a rented building, to improve healthcare services for the area’s 27,000 residents.
At the Hisban Youth Club, and in the presence of the minister of youth, Hassan directed that the club's field be equipped with solar energy units to help reduce electricity costs. He also called for the renovation of the club’s building and the completion of a hall project that has remained unfinished since 2018.
The prime minister was also accompanied on the tour by Amman Governor Yasser Adwan.
