Tunisia plans robotic surgery training center
Tunisia and South Korea agreed to establish a simulation-based robotic surgery training center for African doctors.
Tunisia will host experts from the International Vaccine Institute (IVI) from December 1 to 4, 2026, to support the Tunisia BioHub project. The visit, funded by South Korea, aims to advance research, training, and biological manufacturing.
An action plan was also adopted to create a simulation-based robotic surgery training center in Tunisia. This facility will cater to Tunisian and other African physicians, building on existing Tunisian-South Korean cooperation in robotic surgery.
Discussions also covered artificial intelligence applications in healthcare, including research, training, technology transfer, and service improvement. The Tunisian Health Minister also met with his Turkish and Qatari counterparts to explore cooperation in digital health and pharmaceuticals.
