The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, represented by the Embassy in Djibouti, and in coordination with the Egyptian Ministry of Health, dispatched two medical convoys to Djibouti from May 11 to 25.
The first medical convoy is dedicated to performing surgical interventions for kidney patients through the installation of arterial shunts, in cooperation with the Egyptian Agency for Partnership for Development.
The second medical convoy is dedicated to implementing the presidential initiative for early detection of hearing impairment in Djibouti, in cooperation with the Swiss hearing aid company SANOVA.
In this regard, the Minister of Health of Djibouti received the Egyptian Ambassador to Djibouti, Khaled El-Shazly; Dr. Reham Niazi, Head of African Affairs, External Support, and Patient Care at the Office of the Advisor to the Minister of Health and Population; and the medical team from the two convoys.
The Minister of Health expressed his appreciation for the efforts made by the two convoys and praised the role of Egyptian doctors in assisting the Djiboutian medical teams.
In this context, the medical convoy dedicated to treating kidney patients successfully performed 45 surgical procedures to install arterial stents for dialysis patients before departing Djibouti.
The medical convoy, dedicated to implementing the presidential initiative for early detection of hearing impairment, is scheduled to install 120 hearing aids for hearing-impaired patients in Djibouti this week. This has had a significant impact and has been greatly appreciated by officials in the sisterly state of Djibouti, as well as by doctors and patients.
The meeting also discussed enhancing cooperation in the field of health in various specialties between the two countries, and the importance of continued coordination between the relevant authorities to dispatch medical convoys to Djibouti on a regular basis.
