477,000 Citizens Get Check-Ups With Nationwide Ramadan Health Campaign

The Egyptian Healthcare Authority (EHA) has announced that its national health initiative, ‘Ramadan Be Seha Le Kol Eila’ (‘Ramadan With Health for Every Family’), surpassed expectations by reaching over 477,000 citizens since its launch in early March 2025. The campaign exceeded its original target by 108%, offering medical assessments and follow-up care across the country.

The initiative focused on screening and treating individuals with chronic conditions, particularly diabetes and hypertension, while prioritising the elderly, persons with disabilities, and economically disadvantaged families. According to the EHA, more than 234,000 initial medical examinations were conducted as part of the campaign, alongside 14,000 home visits by 570 medical teams.

Mobile medical units were dispatched to reach patients in remote and underserved areas, and free medications were delivered directly to the homes of those unable to visit medical centres. In addition to physical care, the campaign included educational outreach: patients’ families were trained on how to respond to medical emergencies, particularly related to blood sugar and blood pressure fluctuations. Informational booklets were also distributed to help households better manage chronic conditions and avoid complications.

This Ramadan campaign forms part of the EHA’s broader strategy to expand equitable healthcare access across Egypt, with a special focus on preventive care and chronic disease management.
