Algiers, Algeria | June 30th, 2024 — The Algerian healthcare sector is poised for a significant transformation with the imminent opening of the Algerian-Qatari-German Hospital. Minister of Health, Abdelhak Saihi, affirmed this development during an inspection visit to the pediatric cardiology hospital project in Mahelma, emphasizing a future where patient transfers abroad will no longer be necessary.
Major Healthcare Advancements
On Thursday, Minister Saihi visited Mahelma, a district in Algiers, to inspect the final stages of construction for the new pediatric cardiology hospital, set to be inaugurated in the coming days. During his visit, Saihi highlighted the substantial progress made in the national healthcare infrastructure, noting the critical role new hospitals have played in enhancing patient care.
“The hospitals that have come into service over recent years will significantly strengthen the sector’s infrastructure and ensure better patient care,” Saihi stated. He particularly emphasized the impact of the burns unit at Zéralda, which began operations last year and has since managed to treat all domestic cases effectively.
Reduction in Overseas Transfers
Saihi pointed to a notable decrease in the number of patients requiring treatment abroad, a figure which has dropped from approximately 100 patients in previous years to just six in 2024. “Reducing the number of patients evacuated abroad from nearly 100 to six within three years is a substantial achievement,” he remarked.
This dramatic reduction in overseas transfers underscores the effectiveness of recent healthcare improvements and investments in local facilities. With the upcoming inauguration of the Algerian-Qatari-German Hospital, Saihi confidently projected that such transfers would cease entirely. “With the Algerian-Qatari-German Hospital coming into service, we will completely eliminate the need for patient transfers abroad,” he asserted.
Enhancing National Healthcare Security
The new hospital, a collaborative effort between Algerian, Qatari, and German entities, is set to become a cornerstone of Algeria’s healthcare system. It represents a significant step toward achieving greater independence and security in national healthcare. “This hospital will contribute to the independence and healthcare security of our country,” Saihi emphasized.
A Vision for the Future
The opening of the Algerian-Qatari-German Hospital aligns with the broader vision of the Algerian government to enhance healthcare services across the nation. This initiative reflects the government’s commitment to improving the quality of life for its citizens through substantial investments in healthcare infrastructure and services.
The reduction in overseas patient transfers and the establishment of state-of-the-art medical facilities underscore Algeria’s strides towards self-sufficiency in healthcare. These efforts are expected to lead to better health outcomes and reduced costs associated with overseas medical treatments, ensuring that Algerian citizens receive high-quality care within their own country.
In conclusion, the forthcoming inauguration of the Algerian-Qatari-German Hospital marks a pivotal moment in Algeria’s healthcare journey, promising to elevate the standards of medical care and eliminate the need for patients to seek treatment abroad.
