Libya’s health ministry and the World Health Organisation have signed a strategic cooperation framework outlining a technical partnership roadmap for 2026 to 2027.
The agreement, aimed at strengthening the country’s health system, was signed during a meeting in Tripoli by the health minister, Mohammed Al-Ghouj, and the WHO regional director for the Eastern Mediterranean, Hanan Balkhy.
Others who attended the meeting included the WHO country representative in Libya, Ahmed Zouiten, as well as technical teams from both sides.
