Malhas Hospital

Situated on Qassem Malhas Street next to the First Circle in the historic Jabal Amman neighborhood, the hospital played a pivotal role in providing healthcare services to the nation.

[4] Shortly after its establishment in 1945, the hospital acquired Jordan's first radiation machine (10-100 Kilovoltage), a critical tool for treating superficial tumors.

[7] This subsidiary was jointly owned, with Arab Wings and Malhas Hospital each holding 30% ownership, while the remaining 40% was divided among other stakeholders in the medical sector in the Middle East.

This designation, along with uncertainty surrounding the original hospital license, created challenges for redevelopment, as it prohibited demolition or significant modifications.

These restrictions led to calls for the building to be re-operated as a hospital, but the Jordanian Bar Association's ownership stalled any projects due to the heritage status deterring potential investors.
