Iraq establishes
healthcare liaison office at Amman embassy
Iraqi Minister of Health Saleh Hasnawi on Thursday inaugurated a health liaison
office at the Iraqi embassy in Amman to facilitate procedures for Iraqis seeking
treatment in Jordan, an Iraqi diplomat told The Jordan Times.
Iraqi Ambassador to Jordan Saad Hayyani said the office, which is run by Iraqi
doctors, will be responsible for receiving, arranging accommodation for and
admitting Iraqi patients to the Kingdom’s public or private hospitals.
“Through this office we will also coordinate with the Jordanian health sector on
issues related to training provided for workers in the sector,” the Iraqi
ambassador noted.
