The Libyan Medical Syndicate and the Council of Medical Practitioners in Tunisia have agreed to sign an agreement of cooperation in the field of physician exchanges and expertise.
The Tunisian side said the decision came to organize the recruitment of Tunisian doctors to Libya, which is taking place outside the legal framework.
Libya's Medical Syndicate had expressed dissatisfaction with the Tunisian doctors coming to Libya through informal channels to practice medical work.
The two sides inked the agreement in the Moroccan capital of Rabat last March in the presence of medical syndicates of the Maghreb region.
As stated in the agreement, the relevant bodies from both sides will establish a system to regulate joint action in a way that preserves the rights of patients and doctors alike.
Last Friday, the Tunisian Council of Medical Practitioners gave notice that from now on, obtaining permission from the Libyan Medical Syndicate is mandatory for Tunisian doctors wishing to practice medicine in Libya.
