Who holds the health record in Jordan?
In 2026, Jordan scores 41 out of 100 for how much say a person has over their own health record. It is tied for 91st of 198 countries and territories, and could rank anywhere from 67th to 117th allowing for scoring error, in the Weak band (25 to 44). Who holds the keys: the government. Source: Health Record Rights Index, SuperTruth, this country's data as of October 1, 2026.
The government decides, with limited say for the person. Its strongest right, compared with the typical country, is doctors see it when treating you (45 out of 100, against 33 to 34 for the typical country). The furthest behind is protection from sale and ads (40 out of 100, against 45 for the typical country).
Jordan's public hospitals and clinics share one electronic record, but patients see only part of it and have no say over sharing.

What would Jordan need to change to score higher?
Jordan sits in Weak (25 to 44); Mixed starts at 45. Its two weakest rights, compared with the typical country and weighted by how much each counts, are protection from sale and ads (40 out of 100, against 45 for the typical country) and control over who sees it (28 out of 100, against 30 for the typical country). Our scoring rules give more points for:
Protection from sale and ads: Clear limits on selling health data or using it for ads, covering apps and data brokers as well as doctors and hospitals.
Control over who sees it: A way to say no to sharing (or to be asked first), a log you can read of who opened your record, and finer choices about who sees what. Together these put this right at 60 to 80 out of 100.
Which laws give health record rights in Jordan?
Personal Data Protection Law No. 24 of 2023: Health is sensitive data; consent rules with care and research exceptions; 24-hour breach notice to subjects.
