Attended by senior officials, partners and supporters, the ceremony recognised ADFD's financing of the Center's new outpatient clinics building, valued at approximately AED 92 million. The project was funded through a grant from the UAE to Jordan, with the Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation overseeing its implementation.

Reflecting the longstanding ties between the UAE and Jordan, the expansion building was named after Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and is designed to accommodate approximately 250,000 visits annually, strengthening its specialised cancer care to patients in Jordan and across the region.

Commenting on the occasion, H.E. Mohammed Saif Al Suwaidi, Director General of ADFD, said:“This recognition reflects the enduring strategic partnership between ADFD and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and the role of development cooperation in delivering lasting benefits to communities. ADFD prioritises investment in vital sectors, particularly healthcare, recognising its importance to quality of life and sustainable development. We congratulate the King Hussein Cancer Foundation and Center on its 25th anniversary and look forward to continuing our cooperation in support of shared development priorities and improved healthcare services for patients and their families.”
