AMMAN — Prime Minister Abdullah Ensour on Thursday attended the launch of the first “Al Bashir Hospital International Medical Conference”, in which 960 doctors are taking part, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

During the launch ceremony, Ensour highlighted the role of the public and private sectors in contributing to medical services in the Kingdom, noting that there are 30 public hospitals and around 70 affiliated with the private sector.

He also highlighted the role of Jordanian medical cadres, noting that there is still an “imbalance in the nursing sector”, as there are many graduates in the field but few of them work at local hospitals. Ensour said the government took the decision to allow doctors to continue working up to the age of 70, in light of their “experience”.
