Arab
Medical Center The absence of
proper medical facilities in the Middle East to provide quality cardiac
and other special surgery services as well as maternity services often
compelled the regional population to travel to Europe and the U.S. for
treatment, incurring heavy financial costs. To remedy this shortcoming, in
1990, a group of Arab businessmen committed themselves to the design and
construction of a facility to be built to American standards to provide
the above services at a cost lower than in western countries. GAMA was
invited to participate in the venture as as joint owner.
Inaugurated in late 1994 by His Majesty the late King Hussein of
Jordan, AMC is a 141-bed, highly specialized private hospital, equipped to
the highest possible standards, including MRI, Cardiac Cath. Lab., CT
Scan, awell designed laboratory and complete support facilities.
Specializing in cardiology and cardiovascular surgery, AMC also perform
special surgery, general surgery, gynecology and obstetrics. As a majority
shareholder in AMC, GAMA is actively involved in the provision of key
medical and administrative personnel for the project .
