Abu Dhabi Fund for Development Participates in the Inauguration of Jordan Digital Health Center – a Virtual Hospital Project
This initiative is part of the UAE's broader grant, managed by ADFD, to enhance development projects aligned with Jordan's Economic Modernization Vision 2023-2025, with a total funding of AED 1.5 billion. These projects further contribute to Jordan's National Council for Future Technology agenda and reinforce the UAE's ongoing commitment to driving strategic development partnerships in the region.
The Jordan Digital Health Center aims to connect healthcare centres and create an integrated electronic medical records management system through a unified digital platform, to enhance Jordan's healthcare sector in delivering remote care services aligned with international standards. Executed through the support of UAE-based company 'Presight', a leader in advanced technology and AI-driven digital solutions, in collaboration with Jordan's Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship, this centre marks a strategic milestone in enhancing Jordan's digital health infrastructure.
During the ceremony, His Royal Highness Prince Al Hussein extended his appreciation to the UAE's leadership, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai. He emphasized that this initiative underscores the enduring strategic ties between the two nations and their commitment to advancing sustainable development and economic integration across key sectors.
He also praised ADFD's key role in supporting transformative development initiatives, as the Jordan Digital Health Center serves as a model of cross-border institutional collaboration. The project directly aligns with Jordan's vision to build a digital healthcare ecosystem capable of meeting the evolving needs of citizens efficiently and aligned with global health standards.
H.E. Mohammed Saif Al Suwaidi, Director General of ADFD, reaffirmed that this project reflects the vision of the UAE's wise leadership to support sustainable development across key sectors in partner nations and emphasizes the Fund's strategic partnership with Jordan, which dates back to 1974.
Al Suwaidi added: 'The establishment of the Jordan Digital Health Center marks a significant step forward in healthcare modernization. Through the implementation of advanced digital solutions and AI-powered platforms, the center enhances the accessibility, responsiveness, and efficiency of healthcare services, while reinforcing the foundations of a resilient, patient-centric healthcare model.'
Over the past five decades, ADFD has supported strategic development projects in Jordan with a total value exceeding AED 6.5 billion. These projects span key sectors including energy, transportation, water, food security, healthcare, and education, significantly contributing to Jordan's social and economic advancement and long-term development agenda.

Modon Holding posts AED 2.1bn net profit in H1 2025
Modon Holding PSC announced robust results for the first half of 2025, reporting a net profit of AED 2.1bn—an increase of more than fourfold compared to AED 502m in H1 2024 (excluding the AED 9bn one-off gain from last year's merger and other non-core adjustments). The Group's strong performance was underpinned by solid results across its core segments, recent acquisitions, and ongoing strategic investments. Group revenue tripled year-on-year to AED 6.5bn, supported by record real estate sales and the recognition of a deepening development backlog from both new launches and existing inventory. Recurring revenues from the Asset Management, Hospitality, and Events, Catering & Tourism segments also recorded notable improvement, boosted by near-full occupancy rates, operational expansions, and integration synergies from strategic acquisitions. Group EBITDA grew more than fourfold to AED 2.9bn, with margins expanding to 44%, reflecting a stronger portfolio mix and operational efficiencies. Real estate sales reached AED 10bn in H1 2025, driven by the rapid sell-out of two flagship masterplan launches, which sold out within a day—highlighting continued strong market demand. The company's revenue backlog rose to AED 33bn, spanning all business lines. Building on this momentum, Modon secured an AED 5.5bn sell-out of residential plots at its Wadeem community in July, pushing cumulative sales beyond the full-year 2024 total and ensuring a strong start to the second half of 2025. This success further strengthens Modon's development pipeline and reinforces its long-term value creation strategy. Internationally, Modon advanced its strategic expansion with key investments in the United Kingdom and North America, expanding its operational footprint to 13 countries. Domestically, the company launched Gridora, a new infrastructure platform created in partnership with ADQ and IHC. In May, Gridora signed an MoU with Abu Dhabi Projects and Infrastructure Centre (ADPIC) to support delivery of ADPIC's AED 35bn transport infrastructure programme in Abu Dhabi. The Group's performance reflects Modon's balanced approach: combining record-breaking real estate sales and growing recurring income streams with strategic investments to drive sustained growth and create long-term shareholder value.
