AMMAN — Health Minister Ali Hiasat, US Ambassador to Jordan Stuart E.
Jones and USAID Mission Director Beth S.
Paige on Tuesday inaugurated the newly renovated obstetrics, neonatal and emergency departments at Karak Hospital.
The renovations, which cost nearly $4 million, were provided through USAID.
The hospital’s obstetrics, neonatal and emergency departments have now “more than doubled in size to 3,250 square metres”, a USAID statement said.
The increased space and new medical equipment are expected to reduce maternal and neonatal diseases and deaths, the statement said.
