Algiers, Algeria | June 23rd, 2025 — A high-level Mauritanian medical delegation arrived in Algeria on Sunday, marking a significant step in the deepening of health cooperation between the two nations. The delegation, composed of seven leading medical professionals, including professors and specialized surgeons in general surgery, pediatric surgery, urology, cardiac surgery, and nephrology, will participate in a series of complex kidney transplant operations alongside Algerian surgical teams.

According to a communiqué issued by the Algerian Ministry of Health, the delegation includes five surgeons — notably three specialists in urology — a pediatric surgeon who also serves as the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine in Nouakchott, and a cardiac surgeon who is currently the head of the Cardiac Surgery Department at the National Heart Disease Center in the Mauritanian capital. Two nephrology specialists are also part of the visiting team.

This collaborative mission forms part of a broader bilateral cooperation program aimed at strengthening the technical capacity of Mauritania’s medical personnel, particularly in the highly specialized field of organ transplantation. The highlight of the visit will be the joint execution of four kidney transplant surgeries on June 23 and 24 — including a delicate procedure for a pediatric patient.

“This initiative is a tangible expression of the shared commitment between the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria and the Islamic Republic of Mauritania to expand their strategic partnership in public health and share critical medical expertise,” stated the Ministry.

Beyond the immediate clinical objectives, the visit also serves as a platform for rich exchange of knowledge and surgical experience between medical teams from both countries. The operations and accompanying sessions underscore the political will on both sides to further develop their healthcare systems through sustainable partnerships and cross-border capacity building.
