Libyan Health Minister Ali Zanati met Monday with Maltese Ambassador to Libya Charles Saliba to discuss medical cooperation between the two countries.
The two sides discussed such topics as COVID-19 vaccination, medical training, and visit exchanges, the ministry said in a statement.
“The Maltese side confirmed it will spare no efforts in medical cooperation (with Libya) particularly against COVID-19 pandemic,” the ministry said.
Libya, mired in years of insecurity and political instability, has been struggling to provide proper public service, especially in medical care and education.
The North African country has reported a total of 256,328 COVID-19 cases as of Monday, including 193,144 recoveries and 3,579 deaths, according to the National Center for Disease Control.
The Libyan government last week announced that it was to launch an “exceptional” vaccination campaign against COVID-19, while a nationwide campaign continues since April.
