In an effort to bring services and spread medical awareness in the southern areas of The Kingdom, more and more efforts are being put into the region’s urban infrastructure; and as an example, this open day event was one stepping stone for a new south.

The joint ‘Free Medical Day’ endeavor took place on the 17^th of April at Al-Dissi government health care facility in Wadi Rum. The event –organised by the Aqaba Container Terminal (ACT), featured for the first time a partnership with Jordan’s leading first rate insurance company, the Arab Orient Insurance Co. (AOIC).
