Algerian Health Minister Abdelhak Saihi has affirmed that the Algerian-Qatari-German Hospital project, the inauguration of which was witnessed by His Highness the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani and Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune on Tuesday, represents a new building block in strengthening the strong bilateral relations.
In a statement to Qatar news agency (QNA), Saihi said that the hospital will strengthen the health system in Algeria and will be a model of the good relationship between Qatar and Algeria more than an economic investment.
He said that the hospital project will contribute to strengthening relations and stressed that it's more important for strengthening co-operation between Arab countries, and developing Arab society in that regard, adding that he believes Qatar was a pioneer in that field.
Saihi explained that the hospital is the fruit of the good relationship between Qatar and Algeria, and it is the first project of its kind in the health field, but there are multiple and diverse investments of the State of Qatar in Algeria, and cooperation between the two sides in the economic field and other fields has achieved great success.
He also pointed out that the hospital has a capacity of 400 beds, and will treat many of the complex cases that required treatment outside Algeria, explaining that the reference in hospitals is not the number of beds, but medical technology.
He added that the hospital will be sufficient, through the specialties it offers and the specialists working in it, to reduce the number of Algerians traveling abroad to receive treatment, and that this was one of the big positives that Algeria will reap by investing in projects like this.
The minister pointed out that the new investment law recently approved in Algeria will strengthen, facilitate and open a wide partnership in all areas of investment of all kinds and fields, and may also be specific to investments in the health sector.
The Algerian minister praised the great renaissance witnessed by Qatar in various fields, expressing Algeria's pride in Qatar's achievements.
He confirmed Algeria's pride of what is happening in Qatar, achievements and significant development in the economic field, which shows that people of Qatar are determined to rise up and are determined to challenge, and they have proved it.
He also praised Qatar's preparations to host the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, highlighting that the tournament will be special, and in the interests of Qatar and Algeria as well, valuing Qatar's success in organising the FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2021 last year, which Algeria was crowned with.
