Jordan is an extremely popular tourist destination, and the government has made several heavy investments in developing the tourism infrastructure in the country. In just 2008, over 6 million tourists visited the country, with health or medical tourists forming a significant chunk. Boasting of a well-educated workforce, the country enjoys a stable political scenario, despite having a diverse ethnic and religious populace. Enjoying one of the lowest crime rates in the world, Jordan is particularly safe for tourists, despite its proximity to more volatile neighbors.

Though not one of the cheapest countries in terms of cost of living, medical costs are significantly lower as compared to the US. The government has made sincere efforts to increase its healthcare sector, which include heavy investments in hospitals and highly skilled doctors, institution of a local accreditation council and the establishment of a dedicated counter at the airport, aimed at solely helping medical tourists. Medical tourism in Jordan is further aided by high quality data transfer between leading medical establishments in Jordan and those in USA and Europe.
