The Health and Population Minister Ahmed Emad Eldin Rady held Monday a press conference in the ministry's headquarters to sign a memorandum of understanding with the Regional Representative for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Egypt Elizabeth Tan.
The memorandum aims at developing health care units and providing some hospitals with sound waves devices and mammogram for early detection of breast cancer.
The minister underlined that refugees will be treated in the Egyptian hospitals that will be developed, adding that the devices that will be provided by the UNHCR are the first to enter the Arab region.
Rady reiterated that the protocol inked between the ministry and the UNHCR aims at offering medical services to about 186.000 refugees at the expense of the United Nations (UN).
The protocol guarantees treating refugees from Iraq, Sudan, Somalia, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Yemen and Syria.
