Fujifilm, Egypt boost medical technology cooperation

Ambassador Ragui El-Etreby, Egypt’s Ambassador to Japan, met with senior executives of the Japanese company Fujifilm to discuss expanding the company’s operations in Egypt and exploring joint cooperation opportunities in medical equipment manufacturing, local assembly, and technology transfer.

Fujifilm’s executives reviewed their portfolio of projects in Egypt, which includes the Fujifilm Academy in Cairo for training Egyptian doctors and technicians, as well as ongoing collaboration with the Unified Procurement Authority. The company has trained over 500 Egyptian medical professionals to date. They also presented a new project under development for early cancer detection in Egypt using artificial intelligence technologies, in partnership with the Egyptian private sector, following successful models implemented in India and other countries.

El-Etreby emphasized Egypt’s keenness to deepen cooperation with Fujifilm, highlighting the significant opportunities available in light of the expansion of Egypt’s healthcare infrastructure and the substantial incentives offered to Japanese investors, particularly in the Suez Canal Economic Zone.

The two sides agreed to maintain communication and exchange information, and to explore new cooperation opportunities in medical technology and joint manufacturing, aiming to promote technology transfer and support the development of Egypt’s healthcare sector.
