A new study by Yaqout Abdual Razaq Al Jalam, a Master’s student in Clinical Pharmacy at the University of Jordan, highlighted the clinical and economic benefits of multidisciplinary care for diabetic foot complications. Conducted at Jordan University Hospital, the research compared standard care to an approach involving a clinical pharmacist, endocrinologist, and specialized nurse, finding significant reductions in foot ulcer recurrence and improvements in patients’ quality of life, despite no major differences in HbA1c levels.

The multidisciplinary model also led to notable cost savings by reducing hospital stays, outpatient visits, and missed workdays. The thesis was highly praised by the examination committee, with Dr. Eman Hammad noting its potential to strengthen preventative diabetic care and lower healthcare costs in Jordan.
