The Embassy of the United States of America is pleased to deliver US medical equipment to the Sfax Medical Simulation and Research Center, underscoring American leadership in building a modern global health cooperation model grounded in scientific integrity, transparency, sovereignty, and accountability. This shipment, valued at 1.5 million TND, marks the second batch of US-donated medical equipment in 2025, for a total donation valued at 2.9 million TND.
This initiative was facilitated through the US Embassy-funded, $5 million Health Center for University Research Excellence & Sustainability (CURES) project. While the CURES Project officially concluded in September 2024, the Sfax Medical School and US partners maintain active collaboration.
The delivery ceremony took place at the Sfax Medical School. US Embassy Deputy Economic Counselor Jason Monks, who attended the delivery ceremony, said, “This new US donation will drive innovation, reduce costs, and help build a stronger, healthier future. This donation builds on centuries of cooperation between the United States and Tunisia across a range of fields.”
Today’s donation will provide students and healthcare professionals at Sfax Medical School with practical, hands-on training in a realistic, simulated setting that closely replicates realistic medical scenarios.
This donation also reinforces America’s 227-year friendship with the Tunisian people, their government, and public health institutions, and positions the Sfax Simulation and Research Center as a regional leader in simulation-based learning and research commercialization. The US donation also highlights the enduring importance of educational exchange and international collaboration in advancing healthcare innovation. U.S. Embassy in Tunisia
