Top 3 Pediatric Clinics in Al Thaniyah 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

Pediatrics covers the overall health of children from birth to about 14 years. It includes routine growth checks, the vaccination schedule and the illnesses children often catch, such as colds, flu, diarrhoea and vomiting. Pediatricians also assess possible allergies and follow up premature babies as they grow.

Book an ordinary appointment if your child has:

• A fever that keeps coming back or lasts more than a couple of days
• Feeding problems, poor weight gain or signs of delayed development
• A cough that will not settle, or noisy or slightly fast breathing while the child is otherwise alert
• A rash together with a fever (seek urgent care if the rash does not fade when pressed, as described below)
• Vomiting or diarrhoea that lasts longer than expected, even if the child is still drinking
• A routine check-up or vaccination due. Infants are usually seen frequently in the first months, often around every two months, in line with the vaccine schedule.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Do not wait for a clinic appointment if your child:

• Is a baby under 3 months with a temperature of 38°C or higher
• Struggles to breathe, has blue or grey lips, or pauses in breathing
• Has a rash that does not fade when you press a glass against it
• Has a seizure, is unusually floppy, very drowsy or hard to wake
• Has a stiff neck, a constant high-pitched cry or a bulging soft spot on the head
• Shows signs of dehydration, such as no wet nappy for many hours, a dry mouth or no tears
• Has swallowed something harmful or had a serious injury

In any of these situations, call 911 or go straight to a hospital emergency department.

How to choose among the clinics here

The three profiles fall into two types, and the right choice depends on what your child needs.

• Dedicated pediatric clinic or multi-specialty centre. Dr. Salma Ahmad Abdullah Al Ajarmeh Clinic publishes only pediatric consultations and follow-ups. Families who want continuity, meaning the same doctor tracking growth and vaccines, may prefer that. The two medical centres list pediatrics among many specialties, which can help if your child also needs another service at the same visit.
• Who actually sees children. At a multi-specialty centre, ask reception for the name of the doctor who sees children and the days that doctor is available. Jubilee Specialized Medical Center names Randa Saleh Al Qaisi as a pediatrics doctor on its profile. I Clinic Medical Center Karak handles pediatric appointments through an enquiry service, so confirm the doctor when you call.
• Hours that fit sudden illness. Children often get sick in the evening. I Clinic Medical Center Karak lists 24-hour confirmed hours every day. Jubilee lists 07:30 to 01:00 daily. Dr. Al Ajarmeh's clinic is open 10:00 to 17:00, Saturday to Thursday. Bear in mind that a centre being open does not mean a pediatrician is on site at every hour.
• Related needs. Jubilee's profile mentions pediatric endocrine and diabetes care, laboratory services and children's dental treatment. These may be relevant if your child has an ongoing condition or needs tests or dental care.
• Insurance. Check that your insurer appears on the profile, then confirm with both the clinic and the insurer.

People searching for the best pediatric clinics in Al Thaniyah usually want a doctor they can return to over time. Choose the option that matches your child's routine and your schedule.

What to expect at the first visit

A first pediatric visit usually includes questions about your child's health history, measurements of weight, height and, for babies, head circumference, and a physical examination. The doctor may also review vaccinations.

What to bring

• Your child's vaccination card and any growth or birth records, especially for premature babies
• Previous test results, discharge papers or prescriptions
• A list of any medicines or supplements your child takes, including the doses on the label
• Your insurance card and your child's identification details
• Nappies, a change of clothes and a feed or snack for younger children

Questions worth asking

• Is my child's growth and development on track for their age?
• Which vaccines are due next, and when?
• Which symptoms should make me come back, and which mean I should go to an emergency department?
• How do I reach the clinic for follow-up questions?

It helps to write down your child's symptoms before the visit: when they started, any temperature readings, and how well the child is eating, drinking and sleeping.

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

None of these three profiles publishes a consultation fee, so ask for the price when you book. Points to clarify:

• Accepted insurers. I Clinic Medical Center Karak lists Med Service — The Specialized Company. Jubilee Specialized Medical Center lists Arab Orient Insurance. Even when your insurer is listed, ask whether pediatric visits are covered and whether you need prior approval.
• Consultation and follow-up fees. Ask whether a follow-up visit within a set period is charged separately.
• Extra costs. Ask in advance about vaccines, lab tests or other procedures.
• Booking. Jubilee notes that physician appointments are separate and that reception confirms attendance and the location of any procedure. Dr. Al Ajarmeh's clinic asks families to confirm appointment arrangements in advance. Ask about waiting times, and whether same-day appointments are possible for a sick child.

Getting there

All three profiles are located in Al Thaniyah, Karak. Families coming from Karak city, Mutah, Al-Qasr, Al-Mazar Al-Janubi, Faqou or Ghor Al-Safi should confirm the exact address with reception before setting out. Where available, use the map location shown on each profile.

For emergencies, the Karak Governorate hospitals include Karak Government Hospital, Prince Ali bin Al-Hussein Military Hospital, the Italian Hospital and Ghor Al-Safi Government Hospital. If your child shows any of the warning signs above, call 911 rather than driving a long way to a clinic.
