The convoy is organized in cooperation with the Directorate of Health Affairs in Kafrelsheikh and the Kafrelsheikh branch of the National Council for Women. This reflects the University’s societal role and its active participation in implementing presidential initiatives, as well as supporting the state’s efforts to build the Egyptian citizen and achieve the objectives of Egypt’s Vision 2030.

Medical services and free medication are provided to all patients. Cases requiring further examinations or therapeutic interventions are referred to the University Hospital.
The convoy also features a comprehensive awareness program on the population issue and educational seminars on the “Golden 1,000 Days” initiative. This is one of the most important health initiatives aimed at raising awareness of the importance of caring for the mother and child from the beginning of pregnancy until the child reaches the age of two. It confirms proper nutrition, breastfeeding, and regular health follow-up, considering this period as the cornerstone for building healthier generations with greater capacity for learning and productivity.
The President adds that these convoys are not limited to conducting medical examinations and dispensing treatment, but also aim to spread health awareness, instill a culture of prevention, and contribute to improving quality of life. He confirms that the University will continue to expand the organization of medical, developmental, and environmental convoys in cooperation with various state institutions.

A total of 1,411 cases receive medical examinations, and free treatment is provided to all patients. The awareness component is one of the main pillars of the convoy, with campaigns implemented on the population issue and the Golden 1,000 Days initiative.
