Angola’s Ministry of Health and DOCKTOUR have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to collaborate on healthcare services delivery, medical infrastructure, and supply chain capabilities.
DOCKTOUR is a collaborative initiative between Burjeel Holdings and AD Ports Group, focused on providing maritime medical services.
The MoU signatories were Nacional dos Hospitals director Dr Benedito Hernani Da Silva Quinta, AD Ports Group regional CEO Mohamed Eidha Al Menhali, and Burjeel Holdings co-CEO Safeer Ahamed.
The DOCKTOUR delegation visited the Angolan Minister of Health Dr Silvia Lutucuta after the signing.
This agreement includes cooperation in supply chain and logistics services to transport pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, and healthcare supplies, as well as combined hospital development and management.
It also covers exploring the digitalisation of logistics-associated healthcare services to improve transparency, joint investment in mutually beneficial projects, and identifying opportunities in Angola and other African markets.
Dr Lutucuta said: “Our vision for Angola’s healthcare system is rooted in accessibility, quality, and sustainability. This MoU with DOCKTOUR will help to strengthen our health network.
“It is a collaboration that speaks directly to the needs of our communities and our commitment to long-term national development.”
In Angola, this collaboration is anticipated to facilitate the swift and dependable distribution of life-saving medicines and equipment to clinics and hospitals.
The implementation of digitalised services is projected to enhance the allocation of resources and minimise waste.
Burjeel Holdings co-CEO Safeer Ahamed said: “This initiative reflects the shared vision of the UAE and Angola to strengthen healthcare delivery, expand access to quality services, and promote long-term collaborations in sectors vital to the well-being of communities.
“We are committed to deepening our collaboration with Angola and advancing our mission to create lasting impact across Africa.”
