Medical travelers from around the world, including the near Middle East, Britain, and the United States visit Jordan every year to enjoy the benefits of state-of-the-art and technologically advanced private hospitals, clinics and outpatient facilities. While in Jordan, medical travelers also benefit from the wealth of things to do and see throughout the country. Jordan has fast created a reputation for its superlative and groundbreaking cardiac and organ transplant surgeries of the 70s and 80s, to cancer treatments, cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures, fertility treatments and procedures in ophthalmology, and more.

Jordan is ranked first in the Middle East and fifth in the world as a leading medical provider.  The Jordan Ministry of Health has worked hard to earn their first billion in revenue by the end of 2010, offering accredited and certified facilities, physicians, and surgeons to travelers seeking cardiac care, orthopedic surgeries, vision care, obesity and bariatric surgical procedures, fertility treatments and cancer procedures.

Jordan is one of the first in the Middle East to ensure building codes that offer accessibility for the disabled requiring the use of wheelchairs, prosthetics and other forms of mobility for the disabled. In 2005, Jordan was recently awarded the Franklin Delano Roosevelt International Disability Award.

The Jordan Ministry of Health makes medical travel easy, offering a counter at their major airport to help guide and advise medical tourists. The Medical Tourism Corporation offers a variety of network hospitals providing accommodations to patients as well as guests, both in hospitals and at quality and comfortable hotel accommodations in major cities.
