Emergency Medical Services

Egypt has signed a trilateral cooperation agreement worth $3.38 million with the Government of Japan and the World Health Organization to strengthen emergency medical services and enhance hospital preparedness amid pressures on the healthcare system from regional humanitarian crises. The signing was witnessed by Minister of Health and Population Khaled Abdel Ghaffar, in the presence of Japanese Ambassador to Cairo Iwai Fumio, UN Resident Coordinator in Egypt Elena Panova, and WHO Representative in Egypt Naeema Abid. The project focuses on three main pillars: supplying essential medical equipment, training healthcare professionals, and improving readiness in border governorates.
