Egypt: President El-Sisi attends 3rd Armed Forces Medical Conference

President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi attended the opening of the 3rd Medical Conference of the Armed Forces College of Medicine at the Strategic Command headquarters in the New Capital. The event included high-ranking officials, such as Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly and Minister of Health Khaled Abdel Ghaffar, as well as renowned cardiac surgeon Dr. Magdi Yacoub.

During the conference, a cooperation protocol was signed between the Armed Forces College of Medicine and the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland to enhance medical education and training. President El-Sisi emphasized that developing the health and education sectors is a national priority to restore Egypt's standing, focusing on quality and international partnerships rather than just the number of facilities.

El-Sisi also announced plans for Kayan University, which is expected to open in February 2027. The university will feature six faculties, including medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, and artificial intelligence, with a capacity for approximately 25,000 students. The President directed that the Tahya Misr Fund cover the tuition costs for exceptionally gifted students at the new institution.
