The University of Oxford has received a further generous £2 million donation from Fondation Docteur Sadok Besrour to strengthen the regional impact of primary care research and education in Tunisia.

The new gift builds on the Foundation’s 2025 gift of £8.4m in support of global primary care at Oxford and reinforces the University’s long-standing commitment to advancing global health through research, education and international partnership. 

Housed in the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, internationally recognised for research into health systems and community-based care, the funding will support a focused programme to strengthen academic primary health care in Tunisia.
