The European Union, through «Essaha Aziza», the support programme for the health sector in Tunisia, and in close collaboration with the Ministry of Health, has financed, offered and delivered to Tunisia since the beginning of March 2021 medical equipment for an amount of 13 million euros, including a fleet of 193 vehicles to 995 public health structures spread in 13 governorates of the country.

Through this endowment for the benefit of Tunisian citizens, the European Union is enabling «Essaha Aziza» and the Ministry of Health to meet the objectives set by the programme: better quality and greater access to health care at the local level. The “Essaha Aziza” programme, based on a previous EU support programme to the Ministry of Health and the recommendations of the Societal Dialogue, aims to expand universal coverage of essential front-line care to all citizens.
