Minister of Health Witnesses Signing of Protocol to Promote Medical Tourism in Africa
Published
The Minister of Health witnessed the signing of a cooperation protocol aimed at promoting Egyptian medical tourism across the African continent. The agreement seeks to attract patients and visitors from various African countries to hospitals and medical centres in Egypt.
The protocol comes within the framework of the Egyptian state's strategy to strengthen Egypt's position as a leading regional and international hub in the field of medical tourism. Through this strategy, the state seeks to benefit from advanced medical services and the specialised Egyptian expertise in the medical field.
Medical tourism is among the sectors receiving growing attention in Egypt, as it may contribute to increasing income and providing job opportunities for workers in the health sector. It also helps improve the image of Egyptian health services among our African brothers and sisters.
The protocol is expected to be implemented in the coming period, through awareness campaigns and coordination among the relevant authorities in the participating countries. Full details of the timeline have not yet been announced.
