Moscow – On June 17, LLC Rosatom Construction Technologies (RTS LLC, an enterprise of Rosatom State Corporation) and the Egypt Healthcare Authority entered into a cooperation agreement. The document was signed by David Makharashvili, Deputy Director General for Economics, Finance, and Investment at RTS LLC, and Dr. Amir El-Telwany, CEO of the Egypt Healthcare Authority.
The agreement solidifies the mutual intent to collaborate on a project to construct a Nuclear Medicine Center in Egypt.
A key priority for Rosatom State Corporation is to expand the accessibility of life-saving medical technologies, equipment, and medicines for patients both within and outside Russia.
The baseline configuration of the modern Nuclear Medicine Center will feature a radiopharmaceutical production site equipped with its own cyclotron complex. It will also include a molecular imaging department with PET/CT and SPECT/CT scanners capable of performing up to 30,000 diagnostic scans per year, as well as a radionuclide therapy department designed to treat up to 400 patients annually. The construction of this medical infrastructure facility will improve access to high-tech healthcare in Egypt and position that country as an attractive hub for medical tourism.
The agreement was signed on the sidelines of the 5th Pan-African Medical and Pharmaceutical Conference in Cairo.
“The signing of this agreement with the Arab Republic of Egypt marks a vital milestone in expanding international healthcare cooperation,” said Ilya Vergizaev, CEO of Rosatom Construction Technologies. “Establishing a modern medical facility will not only introduce cutting-edge nuclear medicine technologies but will also provide a powerful catalyst for the advancement of this field nationwide. We are confident that this project will make a meaningful contribution to improving the quality of healthcare services and strengthening public health. Rosatom Construction Technologies is fully committed to ensuring that the Nuclear Medicine Center in Egypt meets the highest international standards and serves as a primary engine of growth for the entire industry.”
