Good news for cancer patients in southern Jordan! His Majesty King Abdullah II just inaugurated the new King Hussein Cancer Centre (KHCC) building in Aqaba, making life-saving treatment more accessible to those who need it most.

What’s the Big Deal?

Up until now, many cancer patients from the south had to travel long distances to Amman for treatment. But with this brand-new, state-of-the-art facility, they can now get top-tier care closer to home, family, and support systems.

This four-floor center, built at a cost of JD15 million, includes:

-Chemotherapy & radiology departments
-An early detection unit (because early diagnosis saves lives!)
-Oncology clinics, a laboratory, and a pharmacy
-100 medical & support staff—all from the local community!
