Krishan added that the committee has a plan of action as the country enters the recovery stage from the pandemic. He stated that hospital and healthcare workers are exhausted, and said that the healthcare sector needs to be revitalized and returned its normal state through the training of doctors and other health workers.

Krishan said that the other issue that the committee intends to follow up on is the file of the six field hospitals that will be closed. The committee will look into the fate of the hospitals, the medical devices and equipment which cost the state treasury millions of dinars, and the workers that were trained to work in them.

Krishan also said that the committee will also discuss the medical tourism file, which has noticeably declined, noting Jordan’s annual income from medical tourism was JD1 billion.
