In an era where titles abound and accomplishments are scarce, there emerge men whose value is known by action rather than by loud voices, and by work rather than by pictures.
Today, with the promotion of Pasha Major General Dr. Mohammad Harooth to the rank of major general and his retirement, we are not writing out of courtesy but recording a rightful testimony to a man who wielded the scalpel in one hand and carried responsibility in the other, excelling in both.
Since joining the Royal Medical Services in 1991, Harooth embarked on a long journey in the military and medical field, rising through ranks to become the director of the Hussein Medical City and the assistant general director of the Medical Services. He specialized in bariatric surgery and chaired the Jordanian Surgeons Association, establishing himself as a dependable name in the operating room and a steady presence in decision-making positions.
But the most important chapter... In our hearts, particularly us from Karak, was written at the gate of Prince Ali Military Hospital.
That hospital, which had many directors, some of whom were from Karak itself, but the reality well known by the people is that management is not merely a title, but an impact.
Dr. Mohammad Harooth came to Karak not as a guest to the place, but brought a project
He understood the hospital's needs, touched the suffering of the patients, listened to the staff, and rearranged details from small to large, because those who understand medicine, know that healing starts from the system before the medication.
During his term, the hospital was no longer just a military building, it became a symbol of trust for the residents of the province.
The services improved, readiness escalated, and the citizens felt that there was a director who saw people not just files, who heard the complaints not just reports, and who dealt with Karak not as a career stage, but as a moral and national responsibility.
This is why the people of Karak loved him.
Not because his position demanded their respect, but because his presence commanded love.
And because Karak is a city that does not easily grant its affection, but when it does, it does so with conviction.
And many have managed the hospital after him, carrying the name, the title, and being from the province, but few left a memorable impact
Today, as Pasha Mohammad Harooth retires from service, Karak does not bid farewell to just a former director, it bids farewell to a bright era in the history of its military hospital
