The Egypt Healthcare Authority has unveiled the services provided by its mobile clinics, which are part of the "Ramadan with Health for the Family" initiative across the provinces implementing the universal health insurance system. This initiative continues until the end of the holy month of Ramadan.

These mobile clinics, as part of the "Ramadan with Health for the Family" initiative, offer comprehensive medical check-ups and chronic disease services. They also provide health education to beneficiaries and their families on healthy lifestyle practices and guidance on chronic diseases, as well as information about the universal health insurance system. The launch of these mobile clinics is sponsored by Pharco Pharmaceuticals.

The initiative began in South Sinai Province, in collaboration between the Egypt Healthcare Authority, the Council of Tribes and Egyptian Families, and plans to extend to the provinces of Upper Egypt after covering all areas of South Sinai and its surroundings.

Dr. Ahmed El-Sobky, Chairman of the Egypt Healthcare Authority and General Supervisor of the Universal Health Insurance and Haya Kareema projects at the Ministry of Health and Population, highlighted that the mobile clinics are a fundamental pillar of the third-year initiative "Ramadan with Health for the Family." He emphasized the importance of these clinics in covering a broader geographical scope, ensuring early detection of chronic diseases, prevention, and reduction of complications.

He also stressed the importance of concerted efforts by all entities involved in healthcare, appreciating the collaboration with national companies and civil society organizations in enhancing health indicators, aligning with Egypt's state directions and Vision 2030.

Dr. Sherine Helmy, Chairman of Pharco Pharmaceuticals, expressed gratitude for the strategic partnership with the Egypt Healthcare Authority to enhance the public health of Egyptians, highlighting the significance of the private sector's involvement in health education and raising awareness of the universal health insurance system.

Dr. Rehab El-Fakharany, a member of the Council of Tribes and Egyptian Families, pointed out the importance of early screening campaigns for disease detection and health initiative launches, especially those targeting residents of remote, border areas, and Sinai's interior. She also noted the vital role of raising public health awareness about the universal health insurance system and the services provided by the Egypt Healthcare Authority according to international quality standards.
