Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune on Thursday in Constantine (431-km east of Algiers) issued directives to establish hospitals for advanced medical specialties, to enhance the national healthcare system.
Overseeing the laying of the foundation stone for a new 500-bed university hospital complex in Constantine, the President of the Republic stressed the need to move towards the creation of specialized healthcare hubs that provide precise medical services in fields such as neurology, neurosurgery and cardiology, noting that such facilities will undoubtedly boost the national healthcare system.
“Algeria has great potential and enjoys credibility, leading many advanced countries in the medical field to express their desire to work with it.” The President of the Republic emphasized the necessity of rapidly dealing with critical cases that require immediate medical intervention.
President Tebboune also tackled Algeria’s partnerships with other countries in the medical field, such as Germany, saying that Algeria “will receive the necessary support for advanced medical specialties.” He emphasized that “while building large hospitals is commonplace, we need doctors in these highly specialized fields who have graduated from our own universities, and that is the goal we want to achieve.” The President of the Republic pointed out that “the target is to graduate around 13,000 specialist doctors, at a time when Algeria currently produces 13,000 general practitioners every year.”
