Abdel Ghaffar greatly appreciated cooperation with Italy, through the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS), to improve the nursing services of the health system.

The minister received a detailed report about results of phase two of the project, which aimed to provide 340 training courses to 5,400 nurses in several  Egyptian cities.

Part of the project had also to do with early cardiac screening for more than 2,000 children in the Canal city of Port Said.

The meeting also took up preparations for the third phase, which is set to be launched in the governorates of Cairo, Giza and Alexandria.
