During a press conference
held at the Prime Ministry to launch the
National Employment Program, Khasawneh
said that several agreements were signed with Arab and foreign parties
interested in working in Jordan, especially in the field of renewable energy
and green hydrogen. He added that there are international bodies that are
exploring opportunities in Jordan.
Khasawneh said the
government has reached the final stage in plans to attract Arab investments and
resolve problems of faltering projects, such as the Jordan gate towers project,
through direct intervention.
CEO of the
Saudi-Jordanian Investment Fund Omar Alwir had
announced the proposed project in 2020, with an initial investment of about
$400 million, would consist of a university hospital with a capacity of 300
beds and 60 outpatient clinics, in addition to a medical university with a
capacity of 600 seats, an average of 100 seats per academic year.
He said that the project
will contribute to raising the level of health care services in Jordan and
increasing its competitiveness regionally and globally in the field of medical
education and medical tourism, in addition to transferring knowledge and
expertise to Jordan. Awir said the project will also focus on scientific
research and development in the field of medical sciences, while providing more
than 5,000 job opportunities.
