Luanda – At least 21.2 million Euros will be earmarked for the training of physicians, nurses and diagnostic and treatment technicians.
The amount, to be handed over to the Ministry of Health by Italian Eni Angola, will cover the specialised areas at secondary and tertiary healthcare levels.
The agreement is part of a memorandum of understanding signed Monday in Luanda by the Minister of Health, Silvia Lutucuta and the director general of ENI Angola, Adriano Mongini.
The deal aims to launch, over three years, an international health capacity project at the Cardinal Dom Alexandre do Nascimento Cardio-Vascular Diseases Hospital Complex in Luanda.
In November 2019, Eni Angola signed a memorandum of understanding with MINSA to improve the capacity to provide specialised medical services through collaboration between the Hospital Complex and other selected Hospitals in Angola with Italian research, care and training institutions.
On 25 January 2022, MINSA requested Eni Angola to establish a specific training programme in the field of cardio surgery and hospital management, in cooperation with the Hospital Complex.
The minister of Health Sílvia Lutucuta, recalled that training staff and specialised teams was one of the Angolan government's priorities for improving medical assistance to the population.
The ceremony was attended by the Secretaries of State for the Hospital area and for Mineral Resources Leonardo Europeu and Jani Correia Victor, as well as Sonangol CEO, Sebastião Martins.
