The Libyan Prime Minister, Abdul Hamid Dbeibah, stressed on Saturday the necessity of strengthening cooperation in localizing treatment and training Libyan medical competencies, especially since his government has named "2024" as the (Year of Health).
This call came during Dbeibah's participation in the closing ceremony of the activities of the 21st conference of the Libyan Surgeons Association. He was accompanied by the head of the Treatment Services Support and Development Service, the director of the Misrata Medical Center and his assistant, the director of the National Oncology Institute, and the head of the Libyan Surgeons Association.
The conference lasted for three days and saw the implementation of a number of major surgical operations in various specialties at the Misrata Medical Center in cooperation between visiting doctors and national experts, and the organization of scientific lectures and workshops in the fields of neurosurgery, blood vessels, diabetic foot, intestinal surgeries, tumors and breast cancer.
When attending the international conference to localize treatment inside Libya last June, Dbeibah promised to intensify efforts and harness the necessary capabilities to develop medical services, localize treatment, and develop health facilities in Libya.
He stressed the government's determination to bridge the gap that has widened over the past decades due to accumulated neglect. He also pledged to make use of the technical and logistical capabilities to advance toward better treatment services.
Regarding the support the localization of treatment inside Libya, Dbeibah's government established an apparatus to support and develop therapeutic services within the projects of the “Return to Life Program” that was launched in 2021 through which the government sought to establish 49 medical facilities and repair 40 other facilities.
