Top 2 Infectious Diseases Clinics in Amman 2026

When do you need this specialty?

Infectious diseases specialists look at infections that are persistent, recurrent, unusual or hard to pin down, and they review cultures, blood tests and imaging for signs of infection. A general check-up is often the first step, but consider booking a dedicated consultation if:

• fever has lasted several days without a clear cause, or keeps coming back
• an infection has not improved as expected, or returns after treatment
• you have fever with night sweats, unexplained weight loss or ongoing tiredness
• symptoms began after travel abroad
• you need earlier cultures, blood tests or scans reviewed before the next decision
• you need follow-up after a serious infection

Some symptoms need emergency care rather than a clinic visit. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department straight away if you have:

• difficulty breathing or chest pain
• confusion, unusual drowsiness or fainting
• a stiff neck with fever, or a fever with a rash that does not fade when pressed
• persistent vomiting that stops you keeping fluids down
• fever in a baby under three months old

This guide is general information and cannot diagnose you. A doctor who examines you is the only one who can judge your situation.

How to choose among the infectious diseases clinics in Amman

The three profiles on this page serve different needs, so start with the reason for your visit.

• Match the services to your problem. The Dr. Mohammad Khader Abu El-Haija Clinic lists fever and infectious disease assessment, infectious disease consultation and follow-up of chronic conditions. The Mustafa Mahmoud Saad Clinic lists infectious diseases consultation, review of previous reports and follow-up after an assessment. King Hussein Cancer Center is a cancer care centre and is not listed under infectious diseases.
• Check the days and hours. The first clinic publishes hours from Saturday to Thursday, 12:30 to 17:30, and the second from Saturday to Wednesday, 12:00 to 16:00. Confirm them before you travel.
• Think about who you will see. The doctor linked to each clinic is listed under internal medicine. Ask which clinician will see you and how much of their work involves infections.
• Consider location. Both clinics are in Shmeisani, while the cancer centre is in Jubeiha.
• Read profile completeness with care. The order on this page reflects how much information a profile publishes and how checkable it is. It is not a measure of treatment quality or outcomes.

What to expect at the first visit

Preparation helps the visit go well. Before you go, write down:

• when the symptoms started and how they have changed, including any fever readings you took
• every medicine you take now, including doses and anything bought without a prescription, and any you have stopped
• allergies you know about
• recent travel, animal contact and any hospital stays
• previous lab results, cultures, scans or reports, on paper or digitally

Bring a list of questions. Useful ones include: What is the most likely cause? Which tests do I need, and when will the results be ready? Which symptoms mean I should come back sooner or seek emergency care? Do I need follow-up, and when?

If you are seeing the Mustafa Mahmoud Saad Clinic to review earlier reports, bring the complete set so nothing is missed. At the Dr. Mohammad Khader Abu El-Haija Clinic, bring your investigation results, since consultations there review them.

If you cannot attend or need to change the time, tell the clinic early.

Insurance, fees and booking

Ask these questions before the appointment, not at the desk:

• Does the clinic accept my insurance? The Dr. Mohammad Khader Abu El-Haija Clinic indicates that it accepts insurance, but ask which plans it works with and whether any referral or approval is needed.
• What is the consultation fee, and is a follow-up visit charged the same way? Ask for the figure in writing if possible.
• Which payment methods are accepted?
• Is a report review or follow-up visit billed separately?

Booking routes differ. The Dr. Mohammad Khader Abu El-Haija Clinic asks you to contact the clinic directly to arrange an appointment. The Mustafa Mahmoud Saad Clinic asks you to use the contact details on its profile to arrange report review or follow-up. At King Hussein Cancer Center, new patients arrange appointments through Patient Affairs, and existing patients coordinate follow-up with the patient communication office.

This guide does not quote prices, so check each clinic directly before you book.

Getting there

Both infectious diseases clinics on this page are in Shmeisani. The Dr. Mohammad Khader Abu El-Haija Clinic is on the second floor of Lotus Medical Complex 50 on Jaber Bin Hayyan Street. The Mustafa Mahmoud Saad Clinic is on Hunayn Bin Ishaq Street. King Hussein Cancer Center is in Jubeiha. Allow extra time for traffic and parking, and confirm the exact entrance and floor when you book. If you are unsure of the route, ask the clinic for directions before you leave home.
