This figure includes expenses for daily allowances, medical
care, and one-off compensation for injuries resulting in disabilities less than
30 percent.

manufacturing industries, health, and social work sectors.
Badawi noted that the SSC has accredited 41 medical
facilities to ensure coverage across Jordan's various governorates, primarily
all Royal Medical Services hospitals, as well as the majority of private
hospitals.

transfer injured workers to the nearest SSC-accredited hospital if the injured
worker is a SCC services beneficiary.
