Medical Convoys
IN LIGHT OF THE STATE’S DIRECTIVES TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO ALL CITIZENS OF THE REPUBLIC, AND DUE TO THE INABILITY OF SOME TO TRAVEL TO THE INSTITUTE’S HOSPITAL, THE INSTITUTE HAS BEEN ORGANIZING A NUMBER OF MEDICAL CONVOYS.
EACH CONVOY CONSISTS OF SIXTEEN INDIVIDUALS, INCLUDING DOCTORS, NURSES, AND TECHNICIANS, EQUIPPED TO PROVIDE THE BEST MEDICAL SERVICE AT AN ADVANCED AND SOPHISTICATED LEVEL IN THE FIELD OF DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT AND SURGERY OF EYE DISEASES. AN AVERAGE OF 2,000 CITIZENS ARE EXAMINED IN EACH CONVOY, WITH AN AVERAGE OF 200 SURGERIES PERFORMED WITHOUT ANY FINANCIAL COMPENSATION FROM THE PATIENT.
THE INSTITUTE ALSO RECEIVES CRITICAL CASES DIAGNOSED IN THE CONVOY THAT REQUIRE MORE COMPLEX EXAMINATIONS, AND THEY ARE TREATED AT THE INSTITUTE FREE OF CHARGE AS WELL. AND THROUGH THESE CONVOYS, A SURVEY IS CONDUCTED FOR COMMON EYE DISEASES AND THE BEST DISTINGUISHED MEDICAL SERVICE IS PROVIDED IN THE AREAS THAT NEED THIS SERVICE.
YOUNG DOCTORS IN PUBLIC HOSPITALS IN THESE GOVERNORATES ARE ALSO TRAINED ON DIFFERENT METHODS OF DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF PATIENTS.
18 MEDICAL CONVOYS HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED SINCE 2016 TO DATE IN THE GOVERNORATES, STARTING FROM THE SOUTH IN ASWAN GOVERNORATE TO MARSA MATROUH, PASSING THROUGH THE GOVERNORATES OF DAMIETTA, NEW VALLEY AND SOHAG.
A MEDICAL CONVOY IS COMING FROM NUBIA, AS PART OF THE STATE’S EFFORTS TO PROVIDE SPECIALIZED MEDICAL SERVICES TO THE MOST NEEDY AREAS.
DURING THE MEDICAL CONVOY, 57 CASES WERE EXAMINED AND VARIOUS EYE DISEASES WERE DIAGNOSED AND TREATED. ADDITIONALLY, 34 SURGICAL OPERATIONS WERE PERFORMED ON PATIENTS WHOSE CONDITION REQUIRED SURGICAL INTERVENTION, USING THE LATEST MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES.
THE ORGANIZERS OF THE CONVOY EMPHASIZED THAT THIS INITIATIVE COMES WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE INSTITUTE OF EYE DISEASES RESEARCH’S COMMITMENT TO PROVIDING INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE TO ALL CITIZENS, ESPECIALLY IN REMOTE AND ISOLATED AREAS, WITH THE AIM OF REDUCING EYE DISEASES AND IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF PATIENTS.
