According to the KHCC's website: What will the expansion consist of?
The King Hussein Cancer Center expansion will consist of an inpatient tower and outpatient building that will double the capacity of the existing Center and provide improved, integrated space for patient care, research and education.These new technologically cutting-edge facilities will enable us to become the main medical hub in the Middle East for comprehensive cancer treatment and care.
The 13-floor Inpatient Tower will have:
- 179 additional patient beds (single occupancy rooms)
- An expanded Diagnostic Imaging and Radiotherapy Unit
- An expanded Bone Marrow Transplantation Unit
- Adult and Pediatric Speciality ICUs
- Floors specifically dedicated to pediatric patient wards
- Floors specifically dedicated to adult patient wards
In addition to specialized outpatient clinics, the 10-floor Outpatient Building will have:
- The first public cord bank in Jordan
- The Khalid Shoman Educational Center and Auditorium. This comprehensive educational center will include a skills lab, seminar rooms, a physician’s library and a social interactive lounge.
- Dedicated spaces for women and children, including a Women’s Health Center and an extensive pediatric section to cope with the rising number of pediatric cancer cases.

How many patients will you be able to treat with the new expansion?
The new expansion will double the capacity of KHCC, which is currently operating at full capacity. It will allow us to offer double the amount of bone marrow transplants to meet the rise in demand for treatment. In addition, the new expansion will house more ICUs so that we can continue to offer highly specialized, around-the-clock care.
