Tunisia at the Heart of the Dr. Sadok Besrour Foundation

Health

In Tunisia, the Dr. Besrour Foundation has established itself as a reference actor in supporting the major transformations of the health sector. Through the consistency of its commitment, the ambition of its vision, and the reach of its interventions, it contributes decisively to strengthening training systems, promoting scientific excellence, and concretely improving the delivery of sustainable care.

Among its most notable contributions is its pioneering role in the rise of family medicine, which it helped introduce and have recognised as a full-fledged specialty within the medical residency curriculum. This major advance reflects a modern and demanding understanding of public health needs, grounded in proximity, continuity of care, prevention, and comprehensive patient support.

The Foundation also demonstrates sustained commitment to excellence in medical and health sciences research. By encouraging innovation, knowledge production, and the recognition of academic expertise, it actively contributes to raising Tunisia’s scientific standing and international profile in these strategic fields.

Its work is further part of a determined effort to transform and modernise health sciences training programs, with particular attention to nursing sciences. By supporting the evolution of training pathways, the adaptation of curricula to contemporary standards, and the strengthening of professional skills, the Foundation supports the emergence of a new generation of health actors, better prepared for tomorrow’s challenges.

Alongside this structural commitment is a concrete and steadfast form of solidarity, through the regular donation of medicine supplies to Tunisia. Through this direct support, the Foundation responds generously and responsibly to essential needs, while reaffirming the deeply human dimension of its mission.

Through all of these achievements, the Dr. Besrour Foundation expresses an exemplary ambition: to serve health in Tunisia by combining vision, excellence, knowledge transfer, and solidarity. Its work reflects a lasting determination to help build a more effective, more modern health system that is more attentive to the needs of the population.
