The ministry told Al Mamlaka that 87.5% of government services have been digitized.
The ministry previously said the number of active Sanad users had reached around 320,000 users per day during August and September.
Minister of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship Sami Smirat previously told Al Mamlaka that the government remains committed to automating all government services that can be digitized, with their total number standing at around 2,400 services.
Smirat added that all digital government services being digitized, having their procedures redesigned or undergoing re-digitization will be added to the Sanad application.
Organ Donation
Regarding the number of people registered to donate organs through Sanad, the ministry said the figure has now exceeded 29,000 people who have expressed their willingness to donate organs through the application.
Mohammad Al-Batikhy, director of the Sanad application, previously told Al Mamlaka that adding the organ donation service had led to a significant increase in registrations.
He explained that users can register by updating the application and accessing the donation icon on the home page.
After accessing the service, users can review the religious ruling on organ donation and confirm their phone number. Their expressed willingness to donate then appears in the digital family book for all family members.
Al-Batikhy said the service currently allows citizens to register their willingness to donate organs without specifying particular organs. Work is underway to add an option allowing individuals to specify which organs they wish to donate after their death.
He noted that registrations continue to increase amid growing interest in the service.
Jordan's General Iftaa Department has permitted organ donation after death to save patients' lives, subject to religious and medical regulations, saying that donation falls within acts of charity, social solidarity and preservation of life.
Health Minister Ibrahim Al-Badour previously said that making the organ donation registration service available through Sanad would be followed by the development of a comprehensive national protocol governing organ donation and transplantation, with the participation of medical, legal and religious sectors.
The protocol aims to regulate organ donation and transplantation procedures, define the roles of relevant authorities, and ensure compliance with medical, legal and religious requirements.
The government had approved the addition of the organ donation service to Sanad to encourage and facilitate participation in the humanitarian initiative, describing it as an expression of solidarity and social responsibility.
