The Ajdabiya Central Hospital in Libya received an Egyptian medical team to help fill the deficit in medical personnel, and contribute to efforts to confront the widespread COVID-19 epidemic.

The doctors were welcomed by the General Director of the hospital, Fathi Al-Hurna who called on them to “consider themselves having moved from one city inside Egypt to another.”

The decision to contract them was issued by the Interim Government’s Minister of Health, Saad Aqoub, where a specialized committee was sent from a hospital to Cairo, and conducted a number of direct meetings with the doctors.

Two batches of 24 Egyptian medical personnel, including consultants, specialists, and nurses, have arrived at the hospital. It is expected that a further three batches of medical staff will arrive during the next few days, according to Al-Hurna.

A media official at the hospital, Ahmed Jumaa said that Egyptian doctors covered the majority of specialties from obstetrics and gynecology, urology, kidney and internal diseases, among others required by the hospital.

Speaking to Sky News Arabia, Jumaa added that the Egyptian doctors will participate in examining suspected cases of COVID-19. The confirmed cases will be transferred to the field hospital that was previously equipped by the Libyan National Army (LNA).

Jumaa told Sky News Arabia that 12,500 cases had entered hospital departments in 2020, with about 1,400 of them undergoing surgery.

On the second day of his arrival at the hospital, obstetrician/gynaecologist Hafez Salah performed six cesarean deliveries with a medical team consisting of three female Libyan doctors: Fawzia Al-Jatlawi, Ridha Bou Halifa, and Fayza Dawas.
