Amman, July 26 (Petra) - The Jordanian Nursing Council (JNC) and UNRWA launched the fourth cohort of their primary healthcare and reproductive health program.

The six-month program, funded by the Japanese government, brings together 81 nursing and midwifery staff across UNRWA’s five fields of operation: Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, the West Bank (including East Jerusalem), and the Gaza Strip.

The initiative aims to bolster professional skills and ensure healthcare delivery meets international standards. It uses evidence-based e-learning and patient safety practices.

The JNC's e-learning platform manages academic supervision and curriculum development, offering competency-based training that allows healthcare workers to complete coursework alongside their daily duties.

JNC Secretary-General Hani Nawafleh stated that the partnership shows international confidence in the council's expertise. He noted that the initiative aligns with the directives of Princess Muna Al-Hussein, President of the JNC, on investing in nursing staff to strengthen health systems.

With the completion of the third cohort, the training has graduated 137 healthcare professionals to date.
