The first agreement signed between Eni and the Ministry of Health and Population and Matrouh Governorate aims to cooperate in implementing the community health project in the governorate.
The second agreement aims to start construction work through Petrojet, a subsidiary of the petroleum sector, on the project to renovate and develop the burns treatment department at Al Salam Hospital in Port Said, which is supported by Eni.
The first agreement was signed by Khaled Shuaib, Governor of Matrouh, and Mohamed El-Tayeb, Assistant Minister of Health and Population for Governance and Technical Affairs, with Mattia Campanati, Managing Director of IEOC (Eni’s subsidiary in Egypt).
The second agreement was signed by Wael Lotfy, Petrojet Chairman, and Filippo Uberti, Eni’s Health Manager and Secretary General of the Eni Foundation.
El Molla stated that supporting the health field comes at the forefront of the axes of the unified strategy for social responsibility in the petroleum sector, which worked to identify the priorities and actual needs of the utmost importance in the local communities in the petroleum work areas and direct the efforts of petroleum companies to support them through concrete initiatives on the ground.
Additionally, El Molla praised the commitment of the Italian company Eni to provide these programs and contributions in a continuous and supportive manner to local communities.
Following the signing, the two ministers honored 17 distinguished doctors in the advanced training program for health care, which was supported by Eni.
