King Abdullah University Hospital (Arabic: مُستشفى الملك المؤسس عبد الله الجامعي
), often abbreviated KAUH, is a hospital in Ar Ramtha, Jordan. It is the largest medical structure in the north of the country, serving approximately one million inhabitants from Ramtha, Irbid, Ajloun, Jerash, and Mafraq governorates. It is also the teaching hospital affiliated with Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST), located within the campus adjacent to the university's Medical Faculties Complex.
The hospital is staffed with full-time physicians and surgeons who are faculty members of the JUST Faculty of Medicine, in addition to many others from the Ministry of Health and the Royal Medical Services (RMS).
The overall area of various hospital buildings is 95,583 m², in addition to a double-story car park of 9,000 m² area. The hospital has a bed capacity of 750, which can be increased to 900 beds in an emergency situation. Structurally, the hospital is composed of a 15-story high-rise building, in which all hospital beds are located, and a 3-story low-rise building in which patient clinics, diagnostic, and other services are located. The hospital is connected to various health science faculties via the ground floor of the low-rise building.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, KAUH was designated by the Jordanian Ministry of Health as the main center for COVID-19 testing and isolation in the north of Jordan and one of 7 such centers in the country.
