Egypt’s Health Ministry signed 3 memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with a number of Qatari companies.
This came on the sidelines of Egypt’s Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly's official visit to Qatar within the framework boosting aspects of partnership with the private sector in the field of providing healthcare services.
After the inking ceremony, Health Minister Khaled Abdel Ghaffar said that the inked memos came in line with the Egyptian vision which supports the partnership with the private sector in the different domains especially the sector of health to improve the level of health and medical services presented to the citizens.
The MoUs aim at providing a legal framework to enable both sides to crystallize aspects of cooperation in the sector of health services to pump new investments to establish, operate or renovate medical facilities in Egypt, Advisor of Health Minister for Governance and Technical Affairs Mohamed el Tayyeb said.
Meanwhile, the officials of the companies asserted the importance of the inked memorandums for their role in promoting joint coordination which will open wide horizons of Egyptian-Qatari cooperation in the field of healthcare.
Madbouly affirmed on Monday that the Egyptian-Qatari relations are old and well-established, and that these relations will be strengthened in many areas during the coming period.
"The current situation does not live up to the capabilities of the two countries and the aspirations of their peoples," the prime minister stated.
This came during a session of expanded talks between Madbouly and Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Khalid bin Khalifa bin Abdul Aziz Al-Thani.
During the talks, Madbouly expressed his happiness to be making his first official visit to Qatar, and congratulated the Qatari people and government on the great renaissance taking place in the country, and the success of the FIFA World Cup 2022 that was organized by Qatar in an honorable way for all Arabs.
The two sides also agreed to arrange a visit for a delegation of Qatari businessmen to the free zones in Egypt and the economic zone of the Suez Canal to get acquainted with the available investment opportunities.
