Egypt targets attracting Greek investments in healthcare sector

CAIRO – 13 September 2023: In a visit to Greece, Minister of Health and Population Khaled Abdel Ghaffar met with Athena Medical Group's CEO to discuss investment in environment-friendly healthcare establishments, training Egyptian medics, and establishing a medical school in Egypt.

The Cabinet's Information and Decision Support Center (IDSC) announced in April that Egypt's exports to Greece hit $228.5 million in January 2023, achieving an increase of 223.5 percent compared to the $71 million recorded in January 2022.

Minister of Electricity and Renewable Energy Mohamed Shaker told the Middle East News Agency (MENA) in January that Egypt and Greece were in the process of selecting an international consulting firm that would prepare a feasibility study for an intended electricity linkage between both countries.

The minister stated that the two countries can exchange electricity of around 2,000 megawatts. He added that a meeting was held with a Belgian company that owns very advanced ships specialized in installing submarine power cables at very deep distances.
