This narrative review explores the multifaceted barriers hindering access to quality cancer care in Jordan. A literature-based narrative review was undertaken to explore the current identified barriers to cancer care in Jordan. Four databases were searched using relevant keywords to identify key insights on barriers and proposed solutions. Key challenges and potential solutions were identified based on evidence from studies, reports, and initiatives. Medical services and infrastructure exhibit centralized disparities, impacting rural and underserved areas. Human resources shortages, geopolitical instability, and quality management issues pose significant challenges. Public awareness campaigns face hurdles in addressing the tobacco epidemic and late-stage diagnosis. Socioeconomic disparities, particularly in health insurance and urban–rural divides, further compound barriers. Refugees encounter distinct challenges, including late-stage diagnosis, financial barriers, and psychological distress. Despite multiple challenges, Jordan presents a model for regional development and health equity. This study not only contributes to improving cancer care in Jordan but also offers a roadmap for policymakers, healthcare practitioners, and researchers in similar contexts globally. Government initiatives, financial aspects, and proposed policy measures are examined as potential solutions. Recommendations include coordinated prevention strategies, enhanced screening uptake, training programs, the equitable distribution of facilities, and policy directives aligned with global commitments. The role of digital technologies, telemedicine, and community engagement models is emphasized.
本叙述性综述探讨了约旦在获取高质量癌症照护方面面临的多重障碍。通过文献综述方法，系统梳理了当前约旦癌症照护领域已识别的主要障碍。研究检索了四个数据库，运用相关关键词提取关于障碍及解决方案的核心见解，并基于现有研究、报告及实践项目的证据归纳出关键挑战与潜在对策。 医疗服务和基础设施呈现中心化分布差异，对农村及医疗服务不足地区影响显著。人力资源短缺、地缘政治不稳定及质量管理问题构成重大挑战。公众健康宣传在应对烟草流行和晚期诊断方面面临阻力。社会经济差异，特别是医疗保险覆盖和城乡差距，进一步加剧了医疗可及性障碍。难民群体面临晚期诊断率高、经济负担重和心理困扰等特殊困境。 尽管存在多重挑战，约旦仍为区域发展和健康公平提供了可借鉴的模式。本研究不仅有助于改善约旦癌症照护体系，更为全球类似情境下的政策制定者、医疗从业者和研究者提供了实践路线图。政府举措、财政支持及政策提案作为潜在解决方案被纳入分析。建议包括：制定协同预防策略、提升筛查覆盖率、完善培训体系、推动医疗资源公平分配，以及制定符合国际承诺的政策导向。研究特别强调了数字技术、远程医疗和社区参与模式在优化癌症照护体系中的关键作用。
