Abstract

According to PHR"s analysis of the data, 32% of Jordanians lack formal health insurance coverage, and a majority of these seek treatment at private sector clinics when an illness occurs. The uninsured are primarily non-working Jordanian citizens residing in middle-income households. The analysis finds that special attention in program design needs to be paid to the aged who will benefit from insurance schemes that are not limited to employer-based policies.
