According to recent reports, 500,000 patients from abroad visited Tunisia, highlighting the country's growing reputation as a medical tourism destination. This trend is expected to continue, with implications for the country's healthcare sector and economy.

In other news, the Tunisian government has been focusing on modernizing the country's industry, with a target to achieve this goal by 2030.
