Egypt’s Ministry of Health and Population said Saturday 2.513 million women were examined as part of a presidential initiative to support maternal and fetal health, since it was launched in March 2020, under “100 Million Health Initiative.”
Official spokesman for the Ministry Hossam Abdel Ghaffar said the initiative aims to early detect diseases transmitted from mother to foetus, and provide free treatment and health care.
The initiative also targets early detection of infection of hepatitis B, HIV, and syphilis.
