Minister of Health Adel Adawi said on Sunday the World Hepatitis Day will be celebrated by the Ministry of Health in cooperation with the World Health Organization on July 28 in a great ceremony titled "Egypt on the Road" under the auspices of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi.
The event will be attended by senior state officials, representatives of the World Health Organizations, senior professors at the Egyptian universities, members of the Liver Viruses associations, liver patients societies as well as Egyptian and foreign media representatives.
The ceremony will review the outcome of a demographic survey conducted in Egypt this year and the strenuous efforts exerted by the ministry of health to treat the Hepatitis patients and contain the spread of the disease.
During the ceremony, an initiative sponsored by President Sisi to provide a million doses of Hepatitis C medicine will be launched, the minister explained, noting that it comes as part of a national program to free Egypt from Hepatitis infections by 2020.
The ceremony is the first of its kind to be organized through cooperation between the Egyptian Health Ministry, civil society organizations and "Long Live Egypt" Fund. The sponsors of the event include Egyptian and foreign pharmaceuticals companies as well as concerned sectors which aim at raising the health services offered for citizens in Egypt.
