In September, the Chairman of the Private Hospitals Association of Jordan, Fawzi Al-Hammouri confirmed that they would accept patients from all countries, except Libya.
In a press statement, Al-Hammouri said that medical tourism from Libya has been suspended for more than a year. This is due to the accumulation of debts owed by the Libyan government, in excess of $211 million, over the span of a decade.
He added that a committee from Libya visited Amman two months ago. This was to discuss the outstanding debts as well as and review and audit all issued invoices.
