Kuwait eyes closer Arab-German health cooperation
Kuwait:
Kuwait’s Ambassador
to Germany Najeeb Al-Bader yesterday stressed the need of enhanced health
cooperation between the Arab countries and Germany particularly amid the
coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The pandemic brought about huge challenges
which require closer cooperation and experience sharing between the Arab region,
on one hand, and the German institutions on the other, he said.
He made the remarks after representing the State of Kuwait at the Arab-German
Health Forum. The two-day gathering, held under auspices of the German-Arab
Chamber of Commerce and Industry, came to a close earlier yesterday. Ambassador
Bader noted that the gathering saw workshops and panel discussions on ways to
enhance the efficacy of healthcare systems, vaccination strategies and medical
technologies.
Panelists shed light on the outlook of the health sector, and the strategies to
combat epidemic outbreaks and exchange expertise, he added. The German-Arab
Health Forum is an information platform and network for establishing and
strengthening long-term Arab-German trade relations in the health care sector
with the aim of promoting health cooperation and exchanging experiences between
the two sides.
