The Cité Médicale Les Aghlabides project, planned for Kairouan, takes a new step with the launch of the first phase of the feasibility study, presented Wednesday during a working session chaired by the Minister of Equipment and Housing, Salah Zouari.
The meeting, held at the ministry’s headquarters, made it possible to detail the first technical phase of the project, focused on the definition of the strategic action plan. This step should make it possible to quantify the financial needs, identify the technical and legal requirements and lay the foundations for coherent planning before launching the work.
The study also aims to structure the medical, academic and logistical components of this future large-scale infrastructure, intended to strengthen the provision of care and medical training in the Central region.
Intersectoral coordination and compliance with deadlines
Minister Salah Zouari called for coordinated mobilization between all stakeholders, emphasizing the need to respect contractual deadlines to finalize the studies on time.
He insisted on the complementarity between the institutions involved, in particular the Ministry of Equipment and the Ministry of Health, which are co-piloting the project and will together monitor the development plans relating to infrastructure and the different centers of the medical city.
A strategic project for the Central region
Designed as a modern hospital-university center, the Cité Médicale Les Aghlabides aims to relieve congestion in the large coastal hospitals and make Kairouan a regional reference health center.
The project, included in the national land use plan, provides for specialized hospital units, a biomedical research center and training infrastructures, intended to promote medical and academic cooperation between Tunisia and its foreign partners.
