Amman, Sept. 10 (Petra) — Chair of the Jordan Phosphate Mines
Company (JPMC) Mohammad Thneibat on Thursday inspected a
state-of-the-art CT scanner donated by the company to Ma’an Public
Hospital at a cost of approximately JD600,000, as part of its
continued support for the governorate’s health sector.

During a visit to the hospital, Thneibat was briefed on the scanner’s
operation and the diagnostic services it provides to patients. The
total value of modern medical equipment and devices donated by the
JPMC to the hospital is estimated at JD1.3 million, aimed at
improving healthcare and expanding the hospital’s diagnostic and
treatment capabilities.

The support includes specialized equipment for the ophthalmology
clinic, including fundus imaging and lens extraction and implantation
devices, a laser device for urological procedures, and a laboratory
device capable of detecting bacterial growth in record time at a cost
of JD250,000. The JPMC also provided 30 modern medical beds at a cost
of JD75,000.

The company had previously supplied the hospital with two intensive
care unit ventilators and accessories at a cost of approximately
JD50,000.

Thneibat stressed the importance of equipping the hospital with
modern medical technology to improve healthcare standards and expand
access to advanced diagnostic services for residents of Ma’an.

He directed that procedures be completed to replace the hospital’s
remaining 120 beds, at an estimated cost of JD300,000, and to
complete training for radiology staff on operating the CT scanner.

Thneibat affirmed the JPMC’s continued support for Ma’an’s health
sector and its commitment to addressing priority needs, saying such
initiatives help strengthen local healthcare services and reduce the
need for patients to seek treatment outside the governorate.

He described the company’s support for the hospital as part of its
national and social responsibility and an investment in the health
and quality of life of local residents.

Ma’an Governor Khaled Hajjaj praised the JPMC’s support, saying the
provision of modern medical equipment and the planned replacement of
hospital beds would contribute to improving healthcare services for
residents of the governorate.

Hospital Director Walid Rawad also expressed appreciation for the
JPMC’s continued support, noting its positive impact on diagnostic
and treatment services and highlighting the importance of
public-private partnerships in meeting local healthcare needs.
