According to the statement, the head of the authority, Ahmed El-Sobky, held a meeting with the Russian ambassador to Egypt, Georgy Borisenko. During the meeting, both parties discussed prospects for cooperation in investment projects in the healthcare sector and the transfer of Russian expertise in nuclear medicine.
The two sides explored avenues for bilateral cooperation, primarily the exchange of expertise in comprehensive medical examinations using the latest digital transformation techniques, telemedicine, and mobile clinics. They announced the establishment of clinics at family medicine centers and units affiliated with the authority, as well as the launch of mobile clinics to serve Russian arrivals, supporting medical tourism in Egypt.
El-Sobky highlighted that one of the prominent projects planned in partnership with Russia is the establishment of an integrated international center for the diagnosis and treatment of tumors using nuclear medicine and radiotherapy in one of the governorates of the second phase of the comprehensive health insurance system. This project represents a promising investment in advanced health services and a foundation for future expansion in Egyptian-Russian health cooperation.
The Russian ambassador confirmed that more than 1.5 million Russian citizens visit Egypt annually, and that Egypt is a strategic partner in the BRICS group, reflecting the depth of political and developmental relations between the two countries. He extended an official invitation to the head of the healthcare authority to visit Moscow.
