Thus, SU President, Prof. Dr. Ashraf Hnijal, stated that this program has become urgent due to the near opening of the university hospital. He further stated that the activation of the unified procurement system at the University is within the framework of Egypt's Vision 2030 and the development of the health system. It aims to ensure equitable access to medical and health technology products through technological assessment based on scientific foundations and strategic efficient purchases and management of supply chain operations.

The SU President also explained that the unified procurement concept means all purchases and management of the needs of the State, government agencies, and bodies or any other entity approved by the Board of Directors of the Egyptian Authority for the Unified Procurement like medical preparations and supplies subject to the provisions of this Law.

It is worth mentioning that the concept of continuous training of all university staff is one of the University's strategic objectives, especially considering the University's frequent pace of establishing several new projects aimed at providing quality academic, research, and service education to the community.
