Top 4 Female OB-GYN Doctors in Madaba 2026

When do you need an obstetrician-gynaecologist?

Obstetrics and gynaecology covers women's health from puberty through menopause and beyond. Obstetrics deals with pregnancy, birth and the weeks after delivery. Gynaecology deals with the uterus, ovaries, cervix and the rest of the reproductive system. Common reasons women in Madaba book an OB-GYN include pregnancy follow-up, pre-marital check-ups, period problems, gynaecological ultrasound, delayed conception and cervical screening.

Signs it is worth booking a visit

• You want to confirm a pregnancy and start antenatal care early.
• Your periods are very heavy, very painful, irregular, or have stopped without an obvious reason.
• You have bleeding between periods, after sex or after menopause. This always deserves a check.
• You have pelvic pain that keeps coming back or lasts for weeks.
• You have unusual discharge, itching or discomfort that does not settle.
• You and your partner have been trying to conceive for about a year, or about six months if you are 35 or older.
• You are due for routine cervical screening. The starting age and interval vary between guidelines, so ask the doctor what applies to you.
• You have menopause symptoms that affect daily life.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Do not wait for a clinic appointment if any of these happen. Go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 911:

• Heavy vaginal bleeding, especially during pregnancy or after giving birth.
• Severe abdominal or shoulder-tip pain, fainting or dizziness in early pregnancy. These can be signs of an ectopic pregnancy.
• In later pregnancy: a severe headache, blurred vision, sudden swelling of the face or hands, fluid leaking from the vagina, or your baby moving less than usual.
• High fever, foul-smelling discharge or worsening pain after a birth, miscarriage or procedure.

How to choose among the female doctors here

Searching for the best female OB-GYN doctors in Madaba is really about finding a good fit for your situation. All four doctors on this page practise in Downtown Madaba, so location alone will rarely decide it. These practical points can help:

• Stated areas of focus. Two profiles mention fertility follow-up: Dr. Hadeel Fathi Al Rawahneh and Dr. Elena Shawabkeh. Dr. Rana Hisham Al Rekebat's profile states the Jordanian Board in obstetrics and gynaecology. Dr. Hadeel Fathi Al Rawahneh's profile states higher specialty training in the field. If you have a specific concern, ask the clinic whether the doctor regularly manages it.
• Hours that match your life. Clinic times differ a lot. Some start at 09:00, some run mainly in the afternoon, and one lists hours every day including Friday. During pregnancy you may need many visits, so pick hours you can keep to.
• Where a birth would take place. If you are pregnant, ask early which hospital the doctor delivers at. Ask also what happens if you go into labour outside clinic hours. The governorate's hospitals include Al-Nadeem Government Hospital, Princess Salma Government Hospital and Al-Mahabba Hospital. Confirm the details directly with the clinic.
• Insurance. Two clinics list Arab Orient Insurance. For any other insurer, check with both the clinic and your insurance company.
• Continuity and comfort. It helps to see the same doctor for a whole pregnancy or a long treatment plan. Ask whether follow-up visits are with the same doctor, and which languages she is comfortable consulting in.

What to expect at the first visit

A first OB-GYN visit usually starts with a conversation about your symptoms or goals. The doctor will ask about your menstrual history, past pregnancies, any surgery, current medicines and family history. Depending on the reason for your visit, this may be followed by an examination or an ultrasound. You can ask what each step involves, and you can ask for a female chaperone or a companion to be present.

How to prepare

• Note the first day of your last period and, if you can, how long your cycles usually are.
• Write down your symptoms: when they started, how often they happen and what makes them better or worse.
• If you plan a cervical screening test, avoid booking it during your period if possible. Ask the clinic about any other preparation.
• For a pregnancy visit, ask whether you need a full bladder for an early ultrasound.

What to bring

• Your national ID or passport, and your insurance card.
• Previous test results, ultrasound reports and discharge summaries.
• A list of the medicines and supplements you take.
• Your pregnancy follow-up booklet, if you have one.

Questions worth asking

• What do you think is causing my symptoms, and what tests do I need?
• What are my options, including the option of watching and waiting?
• How often will I need follow-up visits?
• Who should I contact if something worries me between appointments?

Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment

Consultation fees are not shown on these four profiles, so ask the clinic directly when you book. Useful questions include:

• What is the consultation fee, and is a follow-up visit charged differently?
• Are ultrasound scans or other tests charged separately from the consultation?
• Is my insurance accepted? Do I need prior approval or a referral first?
• Is payment taken at the clinic, with the insurer reimbursing me later, or does the insurer pay the clinic directly?

Dr. Hadeel Fathi Al Rawahneh and Dr. Elena Shawabkeh list Arab Orient Insurance. Even so, check that your specific policy covers outpatient gynaecology and pregnancy care.

When booking, confirm the day and time against the clinic's current schedule. One profile notes that a past Ramadan timetable was temporary, and hours often change during Ramadan and public holidays.

Getting there

All four clinics are in Downtown Madaba, the centre of the governorate's main city. Women from Ma'in, Dhiban, Mleih, Jrainah and Faisaliyah will usually travel into Madaba city for these appointments. Allow extra time, as the old centre around the mosaic sites can be busy with visitors. Visitors coming from Amman will find Madaba a short drive to the south-west.

Ask the clinic for exact directions and the floor when you book, and whether there is a lift if stairs are difficult for you. In an emergency, do not go to a clinic. Call 911 or head to a hospital emergency department, such as Al-Nadeem Government Hospital, Princess Salma Government Hospital or Al-Mahabba Hospital.

Checklist before you book

• Decide what you need: a pregnancy check, period problems, fertility follow-up, screening or another concern.
• Compare the confirmed hours and choose times you can keep for follow-up visits.
• Check whether your insurer is listed, and call your insurance company to confirm coverage.
• Ask about the consultation fee and any separate charges for ultrasound or tests.
• If pregnant, ask which hospital the doctor delivers at.
• Confirm the address, floor and access when booking.
• Gather your ID, insurance card, previous results and medicine list.
• Write down your questions and the date of your last period.
• Know the urgent warning signs, and remember the emergency number 911.
