Egypt has deployed a specialised medical convoy of 13 senior consultants to Port Sudan to provide free surgical treatment and bolster healthcare services, the Egyptian Agency of Partnership for Development announced. The mission, which is operating from Dec. 20 to Dec. 27, includes specialists in neurosurgery, general surgery, spinal surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, thyroid surgery, and vascular surgery. It involves high-level institutional coordination between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Egyptian Expatriates and the Ministry of Health and Population. Nour expressed appreciation for the support from the Egyptian leadership, government, and people, noting the historical and brotherly ties between the two nations. The Egyptian Agency of Partnership for Development said the mission aims to alleviate the burden on citizens, bridge gaps in specialised medical disciplines, and support efforts to localise treatment within the state.
