Top 4 OB-GYN Doctors in Ma'an 2026

When do you need an OB-GYN?

Obstetrics and gynecology covers women's health from puberty to after menopause. Obstetrics deals with pregnancy, birth and the weeks that follow. Gynecology deals with the reproductive system: periods, pelvic pain, fertility, infections, screening and menopause. In practice, an OB-GYN is often the doctor a woman sees most regularly through her adult life.

Common reasons to book a visit include:

• Confirming a pregnancy and starting antenatal care. WHO advises a first antenatal contact within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.
• Period problems: cycles that are very irregular, very heavy, unusually painful, or that stop without explanation.
• Bleeding that is out of pattern, such as between periods, after intercourse or after menopause. This should always be checked.
• Chronic pelvic pain that keeps coming back or interferes with daily life.
• Difficulty conceiving. Mainstream guidance suggests seeing a doctor after about 12 months of trying, or after 6 months if the woman is 35 or older, or sooner if there are known problems.
• Pre-marriage check-ups, contraception advice or planning a pregnancy.
• Routine screening, including cervical screening. Recommended starting ages and intervals vary between guidelines, so ask the doctor what applies to you.
• Menopause symptoms, unusual discharge, or a lump or change you are unsure about.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Do not wait for a clinic appointment if you notice any of the following. Call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department:

• Heavy vaginal bleeding, especially during pregnancy or soaking a pad within an hour
• Severe abdominal or shoulder-tip pain, fainting or dizziness in early pregnancy, which can be signs of an ectopic pregnancy
• Severe headache, blurred vision, sudden swelling of the face or hands, or upper abdominal pain in later pregnancy
• Your baby moving less than usual, or not at all
• Fluid leaking from the vagina before 37 weeks, or regular painful contractions before term
• High fever, foul-smelling discharge or heavy bleeding after giving birth
• A seizure or breathing difficulty at any stage

How to choose among the doctors here

If you arrived searching for the best OB-GYN doctors in Ma'an, remember that this list is sorted by how complete each profile is, not by skill. The right choice depends on your needs. These practical points can help:

• Doctor's gender. Three of the four profiles are female doctors (Dr. Rayan Al Rawwad, Dr. Bayan Akhu Amireh and Dr. Zeina Abu Eisha), and one is male (Dr. Ghazi Taamneh). Many women in Jordan have a clear preference, and it is reasonable to choose on that basis.
• Match the services to your reason for visiting. All four list consultation and follow-up. Dr. Bayan Akhu Amireh lists sub-specialties in infertility & IVF and gynecologic surgery. Dr. Zeina Abu Eisha's biography notes 4D imaging at her centre.
• Opening hours that fit your life. Dr. Rayan Al Rawwad's confirmed hours are Saturday to Thursday, daytime only. Dr. Ghazi Taamneh and Dr. Bayan Akhu Amireh list 08:00 to 20:00 every day, including Friday. Dr. Zeina Abu Eisha's centre lists round-the-clock hours. Always confirm the doctor's own attendance.
• Plan for the whole pregnancy. Antenatal care involves many visits over several months. If you live in Shobak, Al-Jafr or another outlying area, choose a clinic whose days and hours you can reliably reach.
• Ask about delivery arrangements early. Find out where the doctor delivers babies and what happens if you go into labour outside clinic hours.
• Ask directly about training and experience relevant to your situation, such as high-risk pregnancy, fertility treatment or surgery.

What to expect at the first visit

A first OB-GYN visit usually starts with a conversation about your health history, followed by an examination if needed. Depending on the reason for the visit, this may include blood pressure, weight, an ultrasound, or a pelvic examination. You may ask for a female chaperone or bring someone you trust, and you can ask the doctor to explain each step before it happens.

What to bring:

• Your national ID or passport, and your insurance card if you have one
• The date of your last menstrual period and, if possible, notes on your cycle over recent months
• A list of current medicines and supplements, and any allergies
• Previous test results, ultrasound reports and pregnancy records
• For fertility visits, any earlier test results for both partners

Questions worth asking:

• What tests do you recommend now, and why?
• How often will I need follow-up visits?
• Which ultrasound scans are medically needed, and which are optional?
• Who do I contact if a problem appears outside clinic hours?
• Where will I give birth, and what should I do when labour starts?

Write your questions down beforehand. Appointments can feel short, and a list helps you leave with clear answers.

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

Costs and insurance acceptance can differ between clinics and between types of visit, so ask reception directly when you book:

• What is the consultation fee, and is a follow-up visit charged differently?
• Are ultrasound scans, including 4D imaging where offered, charged separately?
• Are laboratory tests done at the clinic or referred elsewhere?
• Is my insurance accepted, and do I need prior approval or a referral?
• Is there a package or schedule for pregnancy follow-up?
• Which days and times is the doctor personally attending?

Several of the doctors' profiles specifically advise confirming attendance and visit requirements with reception. A quick check before travelling can save you a wasted trip.

Getting there

All four doctors on this page are located in downtown Ma'an, in Ma'an city. The governorate is Jordan's largest by area, so travel time matters if you live in Wadi Musa, Shobak, Al-Husseiniya or Al-Jafr. Plan your route and departure time in advance, especially for early-morning appointments or during late pregnancy.

For hospital care, the governorate's hospitals include Ma'an Government Hospital and Queen Rania Al-Abdullah Hospital in Petra. In an emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than travelling to a clinic.
