Top 4 OB-GYN Doctors in Zarqa 2026

When do you need an OB-GYN?

Obstetricians and gynecologists look after women’s health from puberty to after menopause. That includes pregnancy care and delivery, menstrual problems, pelvic pain, fertility concerns and screening for cervical changes. In Zarqa, common reasons to book include:

• Confirming a pregnancy and starting antenatal follow-up early, ideally in the first trimester.
• Irregular, very heavy, very painful or missed periods, or bleeding between periods or after sex.
• Long-lasting pelvic pain or pain during intercourse.
• Difficulty conceiving. Many guidelines suggest seeking advice after about a year of trying, or sooner if you are over 35 or have known health issues.
• Premarital checks, which many couples in Jordan arrange before marriage.
• Routine screening. Ask about cervical screening, which many guidelines start somewhere between age 21 and 25, depending on the test used.
• Menopause symptoms or any bleeding after periods have stopped, which should always be checked.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Do not wait for a clinic appointment if you have any of the following. Call 911 or go to an emergency department, such as the one at Zarqa Government Hospital:

• Heavy vaginal bleeding, especially with dizziness or fainting
• Sudden, severe abdominal or pelvic pain, particularly in early pregnancy, as this can signal an ectopic pregnancy
• In pregnancy: fluid leaking from the vagina, reduced or absent baby movements, severe headache, blurred vision, sudden swelling of the face or hands, fever, or fits
• Heavy bleeding or fever in the weeks after giving birth

How to choose among the doctors here

All four profiles list the same core services: consultation, assessment and follow-up in obstetrics and gynecology. Because of that, practical factors usually decide the choice:

• Doctor’s gender. Some women feel more comfortable with a female doctor, especially for internal examinations. Two of the four listed doctors are women.
• Location and travel time. Antenatal care means repeated visits, often monthly and then more often near the due date. A clinic you can reach easily from home or work makes follow-up much easier. The clinics here are spread across different parts of the city.
• Opening hours. Compare the confirmed hours with your work schedule. One clinic stays open until 17:00 most days. Another is closed on Mondays.
• Insurance. Check that your insurer appears on the profile, then confirm coverage with both the clinic and your insurance company.
• Published qualifications. One profile lists its board certification and previous posts. For the others, you can ask the clinic about training and experience when you call.
• Where you plan to give birth. If you are pregnant, ask early which hospital the doctor delivers at. Then check that the hospital suits you and is covered by your insurance.

Remember that the order on this page reflects profile completeness, not skill. A shorter profile does not mean a less capable doctor.

What to expect at the first visit

A first gynecology or pregnancy visit usually starts with a conversation about your history: your periods, any previous pregnancies, surgeries, long-term conditions, medicines and family history. Depending on the reason for the visit, the doctor may suggest an examination, an ultrasound or blood and urine tests. You can ask for a female chaperone or a companion to be present during any examination.

What to bring

• Your national ID or passport and your insurance card
• Previous test results, ultrasound reports and any hospital discharge summaries
• A list of the medicines and supplements you take
• The date of your last menstrual period, and a record of your cycle if you track it
• For pregnancy follow-up: previous pregnancy records and your blood group, if you know it

Questions worth asking

• What tests do I need now, and what do they involve?
• How often should I come back for follow-up?
• Which symptoms mean I should call or go to the emergency department?
• If I am pregnant, where would the delivery take place, and who covers out-of-hours care?
• What are my options, and what are the benefits and risks of each?

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

None of these profiles publishes a consultation fee, so ask the clinic directly when you book. Useful questions include:

• What is the consultation fee, and is an ultrasound charged separately?
• Is my insurer accepted, and do I need prior approval or a referral?
• Which tests are done in the clinic, and which require a lab or hospital visit?
• Is there a package for antenatal follow-up, and what does it include?
• How far ahead should I book, and is there a waiting time on the day?

Insurer lists on profiles can change. Confirm coverage with your insurance company as well as the clinic, especially before scans or procedures.

Getting there

Zarqa governorate is home to around 1.7 million residents. It covers areas including New Zarqa, Zawahreh, Russeifa, Hashemiyah, Dhlail and Azraq. Check the area shown on each profile and its map location before you set off, and allow extra time at peak hours. Residents of Russeifa, Hashemiyah or Dhlail should compare travel times, as traffic into the city can add significantly to the journey. Students at the Hashemite University may want to factor in transport links between the campus and the clinic.

The major hospitals serving the governorate are Zarqa Government Hospital, Prince Faisal bin Al-Hussein Hospital and Prince Hashem bin Al-Hussein Military Hospital. If you are pregnant, it helps to know in advance the fastest route to the hospital where you plan to deliver, and to your nearest emergency department.
