USAID Supports the Attendance at the Moscow Fair For Medical Tourism

USAID Jordan Economic Development Program (SABEQ) supported the attendance of six private hospitals at the Moscow Fair for Medical Tourism held in Moscow from 17 to 20 March 2010. The Jordanian booth at the Fair received a good number of visitors and the delegation met with a number of Russian companies interested in cooperating with Jordanian hospitals.

The Jordanian delegation ran a series of activities that aimed to inform interested public in medical tourism in Jordan. The Chairman of Private Hospitals Association (PHA) made a presentation on Jordan as a centre for medical tourism explaining the benefits and attractions that Jordan has to offer to Russian patients.

Another presentation was made by Mrs Zahira Haram from the Istishari Hospital, which highlighted modern medical facilities and capacities at the Hospital and the exceptional services it provides to local and foreign patients.

The Jordan Enterprise Development Corporation (JEDCO) extended an invitation to a number of Russian companies to visit Jordan. A Russian delegation was formed to be accompanied by Russian television companies who will enable Russian patients have a real feel of the country. The visit will also enable the Russian companies to contract Jordanian companies and start sending patients from the region for medical treatment and recreation. The Russian delegation will be visiting Jordan in May this year.
