Since 1985 WHO Jordan has been at the forefront of a number of different health initiatives and projects. For 27 years it has garnered scientific evidence, promoted global strategies for eradication, elimination or prevention, and identified potential outbreaks.

WHO provides technical support to the Ministry of Health in Jordan to:

• support appropriate evidence-based national health policies, strategies and plans
• strengthen national human resources development, planning, production and utilization
• enhance knowledge transfer and management, institutionalization of mortality and morbidity systems
• develop a fair sustainable health financing system covering all of the population
• support health promotion, disease prevention activities
• strengthen national emergency-preparedness plans and strategies.

Though challenges still remain, WHO has become a well-established and successful health entity, striving to improve governmental health policy and promoting universal health care in Jordan.
