Pediatric Surgery Service at Sidi Bouzid University Hospital Sees Remarkable Progress
The pediatric surgery service at Sidi Bouzid University Hospital has recorded a significant increase in activity since its establishment. The number of surgical interventions has more than tripled, reflecting a qualitative leap in the care of young patients. This development is attributed to the introduction of modern endoscopic surgery techniques, applied to complex operations such as the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux and vesicoureteral reflux, two common pathologies in children that require cutting-edge expertise, according to a press release published on Friday, October 10, 2025, by the Ministry of Health. This progress illustrates the competence and dedication of the medical and paramedical staff of the service and demonstrates the growing capacity of regional hospitals to provide high-level specialized care. It also marks an important step in the implementation of the principle of health justice, ensuring that children have equitable access to quality care close to their place of residence, in line with the national objective of equal opportunities in health.
