Libya’s Ministry of Health, Al-Ghouj, said on 18 December that a high-level session in Tripoli reviewed the state of the country’s health sector and pathways for its development, alongside presentations highlighting successful Arab health experiences.
According to the ministry, the agenda featured Libya’s progress in health information systems, Egypt’s experience in eliminating the hepatitis C virus (HCV), Tunisia’s advances in electronic vaccination, and Algeria’s efforts in combating drug abuse.
The session also included the presentation of the 2025 Arab Physician Award, recognising excellence in scientific research, innovation, professional practice, medical leadership and good governance in health system management.
The ministry said Health Minister Al-Ghouj is scheduled to hold a series of bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the session with counterparts from participating countries to explore stronger health partnerships, expand joint cooperation and exchange expertise on priority health challenges.
It described the convening of the session in Tripoli as a significant milestone in strengthening Arab health coordination and integration, deepening knowledge-sharing, and supporting collective efforts to enhance health systems and advance shared Arab health security.
