    The Health Services Quality Accelerator (HSQA) initiative by USAID/Jordan aims to enhance reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) outcomes over five years, focusing on innovative models and equitable access within both public and private sectors. It seeks to address existing barriers to healthcare and improve providers' accountability and competencies, particularly among underserved populations. The HSQA aligns with Jordan’s health reform strategies, promoting self-reliance and local ownership. The program prioritizes enhancing health service delivery, strengthening health systems, and improving infrastructure. Key objectives include boosting the quality of care, ensuring data-driven decision-making, and integrating successful models into the Ministry of Health’s practices. The initiative emphasizes gender-sensitive programming, private sector involvement, and the need to adapt global best practices to the local context. HSQA strives to foster sustainable improvements in health outcomes while responding to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare services. Overall, HSQA represents a comprehensive approach in supporting Jordan’s health system and facilitating better health outcomes for vulnerable groups.
