Rahahleh noted that these meetings have had a positive impact on the draft law, and that the amendments will ensure greater justice for subscribers and deal with certain gaps in the insurance system.

SSC “will spare no effort” to enhance social protection for all its subscribers, he stressed, adding that the amended bill strengthens the social protection system in Jordan and provides better security for the most vulnerable groups.
