Tunisia Aims to Strengthen Its Role as a Regional Hub for Health‑Service Export

In this context, Health Minister Dr. Mustapha Ferjani chaired a working session dedicated to defining concrete measures to develop medical tourism and promote Tunisian health services in both the public and private sectors.

Key Decisions

  • FAST‑TRACK Pathway – A streamlined process will be established to receive and guide foreign patients quickly, optimizing their care experience in Tunisia.
  • Accelerated Development of the Digital Platform – The portal tunisiecapitalesante.tn will become the official, unified gateway for showcasing Tunisian health services and facilitating international exchanges.
  • Upcoming International Medical & Therapeutic Tourism Fair – The event will bring together public institutions, private facilities, and international experts to promote Tunisian offerings on a regional and global scale.

Official Statement

In a press release, the Ministry of Health emphasized the need for a national, structured approach built on:

  • Quality of services
  • Digitalisation
  • Investment
  • Integration of public and private sectors

The goal is clear: position the health system as a strategic lever for the national economy and boost the country’s revenues through the export of health services.

Strategic Outlook

This direction aligns with a broader strategy to cement Tunisia’s reputation as an attractive destination for medical tourism and high‑quality care throughout the region.
