The Ministry of Health and Population has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Spain’s Barraquer Ophthalmology Center to enhance ophthalmology services, transfer advanced expertise, and strengthen bilateral health cooperation.
The agreement comes in the wake of the visit of Spain’s King Felipe VI to Egypt and reflects growing cooperation between the two countries in the healthcare sector.
Under the MoU, the two sides will collaborate to improve diagnosis, treatment and prevention of eye diseases in Egypt through knowledge exchange, training of medical staff, joint research programs, and the organization of scientific conferences and workshops.
A joint committee will be formed to oversee this collaboration, with the Spanish center supporting the management of complex cases under the supervision of the health ministry.
