A delegation from the National Council for Human Rights met on Tuesday with Egypt's governor of North Sinai Abdel-Fattah Harhour to inspect health facilities in the governorate, MENA reported.
During the delegation's visit, Harhour and health ministry secretary Tarek Khater expressed concern over the lack of doctors in the governorate.
They explained to the delegation that there is a shortage of doctors specialising in brain surgery, nerve damage, and blood vessels.
During the day-long visit, the NCHR delegation inspected a number of medical and health facilities in different areas of the governorate.
Harhour concluded that in order to solve the shortage of doctors serving in the governorate he must quickly enact a decision to establish a medical school in North Sinai.
