Health Initiative
The Ministry of Health and Population announced screening around 107,000 babies for genetic diseases since the launching of the presidential initiative for the early detection of such diseases on 13 July 2021.
Launched under the "100 million healthy lives" initiative, this new campaign targets encouraging and supporting chronically ill people to follow up their health conditions easily at hospitals.
President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi instructed the health ministry to launch next January an initiative to care for the health of pregnant women and protect the transmission of diseases to their unborn babies, the Presidency said in a statement.
