"Medical services in Aqaba, are generally of good quality, with several hospitals and clinics available for residents and visitors. The city has both public and private healthcare facilities, offering a range of services from general consultations to specialized treatments. Public hospitals are usually more affordable, but private hospitals and clinics tend to have shorter waiting times and more advanced equipment. It is important to note that while medical staff are typically well-trained, English-speaking staff may not always be available.
