Challenges to Sexual and Reproductive Health Services in Jordan (Submission to the Human Rights Council of the United Nations Universal Periodic Review of Jordan (Fourth Cycle, Jan. – Feb. 2024) – 45th Session)

UPR submission - Arab Network for Civic Education & IRCKHF
Summary

Jordan has made significant strides in reproductive health, particularly in reducing the
maternal mortality rate, by providing advanced hospital care for mothers. To increase the level of reproductive health services, the Ministry of Health is diligently working to improve the quality of both preventive and curative health services. In approximately 520 centers affiliated with the Ministry, qualified health cadres provide free maternity, childhood, and family planning services. They include maternal care during pregnancy and postpartum, childcare for children up to age 5, family planning services, counseling services, and health education. In addition to providing immunization services for pregnant women and children, early breast cancer detection and
investigations of domestic violence are also provided. The Jordanian National Strategy for Sexual and Reproductive Health 2020-2030 was launched by the Higher Population Council in collaboration with relevant authorities for the purpose of framing and coordinating national efforts.
