Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
The Jordanian Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship reported that 3.25 million people now have digital identities through the Sanad application.
Most of these users are Jordanian citizens, and the government is working to include all possible services within the app. The ministry stated that 87.5% of government services in Jordan are now digitized. During August and September, approximately 320,000 people used the Sanad application daily.
Minister Sami Smirat affirmed the government’s commitment to digitizing all of the country’s 2,400 government services and adding them to the Sanad platform. Beyond standard government access, the Sanad app also allows citizens to register as organ donors. Over 29,000 people have used the app to express their willingness to donate organs, a number that has increased since the service was added.
Users currently indicate a general willingness to donate, but developers plan to add a feature allowing individuals to specify which organs they wish to donate. Jordan’s General Iftaa Department supports organ donation under religious and medical guidelines, viewing it as an act of charity. Health officials intend to create a national protocol for organ donation and transplantation, involving medical, legal, and religious experts to regulate the process.
