Abstract:

Jordan's health sector performs well in terms of access and health outcomes, which rank among the best in the Middle East region and among other middle-income countries. An estimated 80 percent of Jordan's population has formal health insurance coverage. This country study provides a detailed description and analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of Jordan's current health care system. It describes the kingdom's health care financing and delivery system and provides a conceptual and empirical policy basis for health care reforms. The study also analyzes options for universal health insurance coverage and estimates the impact of costs with a health sector financial impact model. Tables, figures, and case studies help illustrate the overall analysis.
