Egypt and the World Bank discuss cooperation in health sector

The two sides reviewed the results of already implemented projects and planned future ones

Egypt's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Health and Population Khaled Abdel Ghaffar met with the World Bank's Regional Director for Human Development Fadia Saada to discuss new projects in the health sector. This is reported by Daily News Egypt, a partner of TV BRICS.

The Egyptian minister and the World Bank representative discussed the introduction of comprehensive health insurance in governorates (administrative divisions of the country), in addition to the existing project to provide medical devices, consumables and medicines.

The talks also reviewed the results of projects implemented by the ministry in cooperation with the World Bank related to the fight against coronavirus (COVID-19), the training of medical personnel and the provision of preventive drugs during the pandemic.

The meeting discussed ways to expand cooperation on sharing experiences with other countries, facilitating access to health services for the elderly in the next 10 years.

The World Bank representative expressed satisfaction with the results of the Egyptian authorities' actions in key health areas and called for a high-level meeting in October to review support for medical education in the country and other issues.

India accelerates AI adoption to drive growth in healthcare, education and digital innovation

Aleksander Alimov

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia

"We are convinced that the only way to make the information space more stable, secure and predictable is through international cooperation. No country is capable of countering cross-border ICT threats on its own. There is a need to develop common rules of the game applicable to all, which would regulate the actions of states and their companies in the digital sphere. [...] The first step in this direction has already been taken with the adoption by the UN General Assembly in December 2024 and the signing in October 2025 of the UN Convention against Cybercrime, developed at Russia’s initiative. This is the first universal treaty in the field of international information security. Seventy-five countries have signed the document. We call on all countries to sign and ratify this Convention"

Batyr Berdyklychev

World Health Organisation Representative in Russia

"International cooperation can help detect risks quicker, also exchange the results of research and coordinate the response measures. Without this coordination, the consequences of the global crisis could be heavier. [...] We are witnessing the world becoming more and more interconnected and interdependent. Every outbreak of infection in one region can be a potential threat globally. The experience shows us that the resilience of healthcare systems affects economic stability, the national security of states and public trust"

Xi Jinping

President of the People’s Republic of China

"As permanent members of the UN Security Council and important major countries in the world, China and Russia should take a strategic and long-term perspective, drive the development and revitalisation of our respective countries through comprehensive strategic coordination of even higher quality, and work to make the global governance system more just and reasonable"

Mikhail Mishustin

Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation

"In Russia, it is expanding at nearly twice the pace of the rest of the information technology sector. Over half of all enterprises are actively engaged in the implementation of such technologies. We witnessed this at practically every stand"

Dilma Rousseff

President of the New Development Bank

"The Bank will be strengthening its role as a platform for cooperation among its members, supporting initiatives in digital infrastructure, energy transition, advanced low-carbon energy technologies, intelligent hospitals, and all sorts of innovation, amplifying the comparative advantages of our member countries. […] NDB will continue to pursue gradual, balanced membership expansion and strengthen its role as a unified voice and platform for the Global South, amplifying members' priorities and mobilising collective solutions to share developing challenges"
