The Emergency Department at Aqaba University Hospital is a comprehensive, independent facility designed to provide immediate, high-quality care to patients with a wide range of emergency medical needs. The Emergency Department has more than 16 beds and is equipped with the latest advanced technology to monitor patients and ensure rapid follow-up. Two triage rooms are dedicated to triaging and classifying patients within a sophisticated system to ensure they receive appropriate and timely care based on the severity of their condition.

The Emergency Department is located on the main street with a separate, private entrance, providing easy access for patients and ambulances at all times.
The Emergency Department is carefully divided into specialized departments to meet the diverse needs of patients, including:
- Adult Emergency: (9 beds) Dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of acute medical conditions, trauma injuries, and adult surgical cases.
