A global humanitarian institution with diplomatic relations in 120 states — and a national NGO rooted in Amman since 2003, continuing a tradition of service that began in Jerusalem in 1113.
A mandate nine centuries old,
answered today in Jordan.
The Order of Malta is a global humanitarian institution with a nine-hundred-year tradition of medical and social service — neutral, impartial, and apolitical.
In Jordan, that tradition translates to specific, measurable work: mobile medical units reaching Bedouin settlements, accessibility retrofits in public hospitals, freelancing training for refugee youth, and winter relief for families in crisis.
Order of Malta Jordan NGO is registered with the Jordanian Ministry of Health under national number 420222139. Our Embassy in Amman, established in 2003, maintains diplomatic relations with the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
Programs are funded by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS), the Order of Malta's global grand priories, and institutional partners — including ProSud, Progetto Sud ETS, and JOHUD.
The Sovereign Military Order of Malta holds diplomatic relations with 120 states and Permanent Observer status at the United Nations. Jordan's work sits inside that wider network — sharing clinical protocols, procurement, and institutional relationships with the Order's grand priories across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Africa.
A hospital is established in Jerusalem to care for the sick and for travellers — the origin of nine centuries of medical service.
The Order establishes its Embassy in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, opening diplomatic ties and the first on-the-ground programs.
Registration under the Jordanian Ministry of Health, national number 420222139 — formalising a national association alongside the Embassy.
Health and inclusion program across six governorates, co-funded by the Italian Cooperation — our flagship program through 2027.
A freelancing platform for 200 youth, women, and refugees in Jordan — live at yalla.orderofmaltajordan.org, January 2026.
For those in need, since MCXIII.
