AMMAN — The Private Hospitals Association (PHA) President Fawzi Hammouri on Wednesday said that the Kingdom’s investment environment has worked to stimulate investment for private hospitals, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

The percentage of private hospitals has increased to 60 per cent of the total number of hospitals in the Kingdom, with investments of more than JD3 billion, and more than 35,000 employees, according to Hammouri.

During a lecture at the 9th International Conference of the Royal Medical Services, titled "Return on investment in health", held at the King Hussein Convention Centre, Hammouri pointed out that 35 per cent of medical tourism revenues go into the health sector, while 65 per cent go to other economic sectors, which confirms the need for the participation of all sectors in supporting medical tourism, he added.
