AMMONNEWS - Prime Minister Omar Razzaz on Tuesday announced the details of the recently-launched economic program's Fourth Executive Package.
The package, which is titled 'Improving the Quality of Services Provided to Citizens,' focuses on the Education, Health and Public Transport sectors.
The Prime Minister underscored that the launch of a services package is in line the government's conviction that the measures and decisions taken in the previously-unveiled three packages will not be sustainable without enhancing the quality of education, health and public transport services.
The premier also said that more than 50 per cent of capital spending in the 2020 budget will be allocated to the three sectors, driven by the importance of education, and the risk of not having health insurance, which may spread within families and turn into a 'chronic illness.'
On public transportation, he pointed out that it should be available to everyone, including young people, elderly, and people with disabilities, adding that a reliable public transportation system should be provided to citizens to avoid traffic jams.
He said projects to improve public transport services are already in progress, noting that their implementation will occur over several years within a specific timetable.
Razzaz stated that the first three packages began 'to bear fruit,' pointing to a 48% increase in land sales since last October, compared to the same period last year, a 34% rise in apartment sales, and a 66% growth in disassociation.
On the education, health, and transportation sectors, he said 'the challenge is not how much we spend, but rather directing spending to improve services.'
Around 8.12% of the gross domestic product is spent on health care, a higher percentage than the global average, he noted.
Additionally, Razzaz said there is a disparity in primary health services provided in centers, which affects service reliability.
In the education sector, the biggest challenge is the kindergarten stage and providing it to all students, he stated.
The desired outcome of these packages is raising the living standards of citizens and optimal benefit from basic services, Razzaz underscored.
