To mark the first day of the holy month of Ramadan, Their Majesties King Abdullah II and Queen Rania spoke to medical and nursing staff at Prince Hamzah, Queen Alia, and King Abdullah University hospitals before Iftar via video.

King Abdullah expressed his best wishes to the staff on the occasion of the fasting month of Ramadan, thanking them for their efforts to protect Jordanian citizens and stressing that they lift public morale. He also expressed appreciation of the great efforts undertaken by hospital staff despite the heavy workload, noting readiness to address any difficulties some of them may be facing.

The King said he will maintain contact with medical and nursing staff, urging them to highlight any shortages in medicines or testing kits, or the need to increase testing labs, so that solutions can be reached in a timely manner.

Her Majesty while speaking, extended her warmest wishes to the medical and nursing staff on the occasion of Ramadan, voicing hope that the coming days will bring good news. Although they may be away from their families as Ramadan starts, Queen Rania told the staff members that every family in every Jordanian home is praying and thinking of them. Her Majesty thanked the medical and nursing staff for their efforts and dedication.

His Majesty provided iftar meals for the medical, nursing, and on-duty staff at the three hospitals, as well as epidemiological investigation teams, and workers at the Ministry of Health’s labs and its operations room, to break their fast, in recognition of their efforts during these exceptional circumstances.

Hospital workers, and medical and nursing staff expressed appreciation for Their Majesties’ gesture to check on hospitals and their cadres.

The hospital directors provided a briefing on the procedures followed to deal with patients diagnosed with coronavirus disease (COVID-19), in line with safety standards. They added that there are protective measures to safeguard the health of medical and nursing staff, as they undergo regular testing and are trained on how to handle COVID-19 patients.

A number of doctors, nurses, lab technicians, nutrition specialists, and workers at isolation wards also spoke through the video call.
