Minister of Health Firas Hawari Tuesday pledged that his ministry stands ready to cooperate and provide all forms of support to the Jordan Air Ambulance Centre (JAAC) to take advantage of its modern technologies and infrastructure capabilities to carry out quality service.
He spoke during a visit to the JAAC, where he met Royal Air Force Commander Brig. Gen. Mohammad Hiyasat, and was briefed by the centre’s director on its role to serve the medical sector and medical tourism through providing ambulance and air transport services.
The minister hailed the efforts of the centre and its personnel for their key role in serving Jordanians and residents of the Kingdom through securing air ambulance service to those who suffer serious injury during emergencies in remote areas, which require speedy transfers to hospitals.
The JAAC was established in 2015 under the directives of His Majesty King Abdullah II as an independent government facility offering medical evacuation service to seriously injured people in remote areas to advanced health centers in the country.

Security forces Tuesday arrested a man, who was wanted on smuggling and drug trafficking charges, during a shootout in the Central Badia region.
The Public Security Directorate’s media spokesman said in a statement that a security force engaged a man, who was wanted on 25 criminal charges, 20 of which were drug trafficking offences, after they zeroed in on his whereabouts in the Central Badia region.
“Upon seeing the security force driving to the site, the suspect began shooting, and the police force, acting according to the rules of engagement, returned the fire and warned him to turn himself in, but he resisted and continued shooting,” he said.
He said the police force overwhelmed the shooter and found out he was injured and was treated on the spot and driven to hospital.
The spokesman said that the suspect had escaped a botched attempt to arrest him about a month ago, when he fired shots on a security force.
