The agreement, aimed at strengthening the country’s health system, was signed during a meeting in Tripoli by Minister of Health Mohammed Al-Ghouj and WHO Regional Director for the Eastern Mediterranean Hanan Balkhy.

Others who attended the meeting were the WHO Country Representative in Libya, Ahmed Zouiten, along with technical teams from both sides.
