EAPD seeking doctors for Egyptian hospitals in Gabon, Eritrea - Foreign Affairs
The Egyptian Agency of Partnership for Development (EAPD) issued a call for internists and ophthalmologists to work in the Egyptian-Gabonese Hospital in Libreville and the Egyptian clinic in the Eritrean capital, Asmara.
On Wednesday, the EAPD announced that French-speaking internists wishing to work in Gabon and English-speaking ophthalmologists wishing to work in Eritrea must have a master's degree and at least five years of experience.
It added that the contracts will span one year, with the option to renew for up to four years.
Applicants should not be older than 55 years. They should send their CVs to the designated email by 25 August: [email protected].
The announcement comes as Egypt strengthens relations with various African countries through the EAPD.
The EAPD, established in June 2014, is a government agency under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is dedicated to supporting Africa's development aspirations through capacity building, knowledge transfer, and promoting creative industries.
In 2019, Egypt's Ministry of Health opened the Egyptian clinic in Asmara, under the slogan of "Long live Egypt-Africa," and dispatched a medical team of Egyptian ophthalmologists to Eritrea.
In 2021, the EAPD signed a cooperation protocol with Egypt's General Authority for Healthcare (GAH) to train the medical sector of African expatriates in various fields and introduce Egypt's experience in developing the health system.
The protocol, which aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals 2030 and the African Union Agenda 2063, also covers cooperation in transferring the experience of the Good Life initiative in the health sector to African countries.
In June, the EAPD launched a pioneering study titled "The Investment Map in Africa," which will support Egyptian companies seeking to expand into African markets.
The study will help Egyptian businesses explore new markets across Africa and offer detailed insights into promising sectors such as agriculture, mining, construction, technology, renewable energy, and water resource management.
During his West African tour in July, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty highlighted Egypt's ongoing efforts to support development in Africa, particularly through the activities of the EAPD.
