The National Council on U.S.–Libya Relations (NCUSLR), a US-based Libya lobby group, announced yesterday that it has received a Public Diplomacy Grant from the U.S. Embassy in Libya to support advanced training and professional development opportunities for Libyan underrepresented cardiologists.
The programme involves training Libyan women and underrepresented cardiologists through workshops and advanced clinical training in Cairo, led by American and Egyptian medical specialists, with potential opportunities for further professional exchange at U.S. medical institutions.
The NCUSLR said that by expanding access to specialized training, the initiative seeks to strengthen cardiovascular care in Libya, advance leadership in medicine, and foster lasting partnerships between American and Libyan healthcare professionals.
