Amman, July 8 (Petra) – The Ministry of Health on Wednesday launched
a unified national cancer treatment protocol for the Kingdom’s public
healthcare sector, introducing 26 clinical guidelines to standardize
care, improve treatment quality, and ensure equal access to cancer
services nationwide.

The protocol advances cancer care governance by setting a “single,
evidence-based” national standard, according to Minister of Health
Ibrahim Bdour.

Speaking at the launching ceremony, Bdour said the protocol will
support clinical decision-making, unify treatment practices across
public health institutions, improve patient safety, and promote
efficient use of healthcare resources.

The step will ensure patients receive the same evidence-based
treatment regardless of where they are treated, Bdour added, boosting
equity and confidence in the public healthcare system.

As for its scope, he noted the protocol unifies the national
framework for cancer care among the Ministry of Health, the Jordanian
Royal Medical Services, the King Hussein Cancer Center, university
hospitals, and other healthcare institutions.

The code was designed as a flexible scientific document that will be
reviewed and updated regularly to reflect the latest medical evidence
and international best practices, he pointed out.

He stated the project’s success depends on “consistent”
implementation across healthcare institutions and continued
collaboration among partners.
