Egypt, Qatar discuss expanding health cooperation, Gaza support


Egyptian Health Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Khaled Abdel Ghaffar met on Sunday with Qatar’s Ambassador to Cairo, Sheikh Jassim bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, to explore ways to strengthen bilateral cooperation across multiple health fields, the Egyptian Health Ministry said.

In a statement, ministry spokesperson Hossam Abdel Ghaffar highlighted the depth of relations between Egypt and Qatar and reaffirmed the commitment of both countries’ leadership to broadening partnerships in the health sector.

The talks focused on activating an existing memorandum of understanding between the two health ministries and on Qatari support for establishing an advanced medical simulation centre in Egypt, modelled on Qatar’s world-class Itqan Centre. The proposed facility aims to serve as a hub for cutting-edge training in medical simulation.
