Ammon News - The Jordanian Nursing Council (JNC) participated in a conference on nursing and midwifery, which opened on July 19 in the Palace of Parliament in the Romanian capital, Bucharest.

The conference was organized by the country's nursing and midwifery syndicate, according to a JNC statement released Monday.

HRH Princess Muna Al-Hussein, President of JNC, in a speech delivered on her behalf by her consultant for health and social development, Rowaida Al Maaitah, congratulated the syndicate and the attendees and wished them further success, progress, and achievements.
