These efforts, led by mobile awareness teams, aim to improve preventive health behaviors and guide citizens on how to access the services offered.
Dr. Abdel Ghaffar emphasized that the campaign reflects a holistic approach to healthcare—offering curative, preventive, and awareness services while integrating public, specialized, and emergency care systems under a unified national framework.
A National Vision for Sustainable Health

Launched initially in 2023, the campaign’s third round demonstrates scaling capacity, increased public engagement, and multi-sectoral collaboration—making it a key pillar in Egypt’s roadmap toward sustainable healthcare reform.
