Abu Dhabi invests $101m in Jordan health ICT

8 October 2024

The Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD) has announced an investment of AED370m ($101m) to support the digital transformation of the Jordanian Health Ministry.

This initiative is part of the UAE’s broader grant to enhance development projects aligned with Jordan’s Economic Modernisation Vision 2023-25, which has a total funding of AED1.47bn.

The 7 October announcement coincided with the visit of UAE President Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan to Jordan.

UAE-based company Presight, in partnership with the Jordanian Digital Economy & Entrepreneurship Ministry, will implement the project.

The ADFD said: “This collaboration exemplifies a sustainable development model, utilising the combined expertise of both nations to ensure the highest standards of quality and efficiency in implementing advanced technological solutions.”

The digital transformation project will establish an integrated system for health information exchange and storage, linking various health centres across Jordan to a unified digital platform.

This initiative aims to significantly advance Jordan’s digital transformation efforts and enhance the health sector’s capabilities.

The project implementation will begin with a comprehensive assessment of the information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure in Jordan’s healthcare sector.

This initial phase will evaluate the interoperability of existing health systems and the effectiveness of current data security and compliance measures.
