US charge d'affaires
visits USAID projects in Salt
US Charge d'Affaires in Amman David Hale visited USAID projects in Salt
yesterday, beginning with a tour of the Primary Health Care Centre. The 430sq.m
facility provides primary and maternal healthcare to an estimated 36,000
residents of the area.
The centre underwent renovations as part of the USAID-funded Primary Health Care
Initiatives (PHCI) project, a five-year cooperative programme between the
Ministry of Health and USAID for which the US government has contributed $50
million. Hale also paid a courtesy call to Salt Municipality, where he met with
Salt Mayor Maher Abul Samen, Balqaa Governor Sameh Majali, and several deputies
from Balqaa Governorate. He concluded his visit with a meeting with
representatives of the Salt Reconstruction Committee.
