The convoy forms part of the series of initiatives launched by the university in cooperation with the Dignified Life Foundation across the villages of the governorate.

A number of specialized staff members from the Faculties of Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, and Specific Education participate in the convoy. Free medical examinations are provided to a large number of citizens in various specialties, including internal medicine, ophthalmology, ENT, obstetrics and gynecology, dermatology, neurology, pediatrics, general surgery, orthopedics, urology, neurosurgery, and dentistry. Nursing services include blood sugar testing, measurement of height, weight, and blood pressure, diabetic foot care, anemia testing for children, as well as guidance for women on reproductive health and nutritional awareness for children to prevent malnutrition.

Prof. Ismail Ismail Ibrahim, Acting President of Kafrelsheikh University, confirms the university’s commitment to continuing medical convoys in cities and villages most in need across the country, supported by distinguished academic staff from various medical specialties.
