Amman: Secretary-General of the Jordanian Nursing Council (JNC) Hani Nawafleh met with Libyan Minister of Labor Ali Rida to discuss expanding cooperation in nursing and midwifery training. Nawafleh engaged with senior Libyan officials and the embassy's labor attach© to highlight the strong ties between Jordan and Libya.
According to Jordan News Agency, Nawafleh pledged the JNC's technical and advisory expertise to support Libya's healthcare workforce by mirroring Jordan's approach to nursing education and regulation. He emphasized the JNC's history under the leadership of HRH Princess Muna Al-Hussein, World Health Organization Patron for Nursing and Midwifery in the Eastern Mediterranean Region, and its significant role in advancing nursing and midwifery locally, regionally, and internationally.
Minister Rida expressed Libya's eagerness to adopt Jordan's model to create a specialized Libyan nursing framework, establish training institutes, and enhance the skills of local trainers. He highlighted the critical role of nurses, who constitute the largest segment of Libya's healthcare workforce, in ensuring quality patient care.
Both parties agreed to draft a memorandum of understanding (MoU) that aligns with their national legal frameworks. The proposed agreement aims to establish specialized training centers, develop continuous professional education systems, host Libyan trainees in Jordan, and deploy Jordanian experts to Libya.
Discussions also concentrated on sharing Jordan's expertise in creating national licensing exams, question banks, clinical simulation centers, and competency frameworks related to professional license renewal.
