A new, high-technology medical complex is to be built in Equatorial Guinea as part of a bilateral cooperation agreement with Egypt. Following his diplomatic visit to Equatorial Guinea last week, the Egyptian Health Minister Adel Awai confirmed that the complex will be funded and equipped by the government of Equatorial Guinea, with Egypt agreeing to send doctors and specialists to work and teach at the centre.
In return, medical students from Equatorial Guinea will be given the opportunity to train in Egypt, with a range of scholarships available for selected researchers. The plans are part of the government’s ongoing work in the country’s health sector, which also includes the formation of an expert committee on maternal and neonatal health.
