As part of Alexandria University’s societal role in supporting the local community and serving the most vulnerable areas, and under the auspices of Dr. Abdelaziz Konsowa, President of the University, the Faculty of Medicine launched an extensive medical convoy to the Vocational Rehabilitation Center in El-Syouf to provide healthcare and therapeutic services.

The convoy coincided with the celebration of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. It included participation from the Faculty of Dentistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, Medical Research Institute, High Institute of Public Health, Faculty of Nursing, Faculty of Early Childhood Education, Faculty of Girls’ Physical Education, and the Rotary Club—reflecting an exemplary model of institutional cooperation and joint efforts in community service.

Dr. Tamer Abdallah, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Chairman of the University Hospitals Board, and Rapporteur of the University’s Convoys Committee, confirmed that the convoy successfully provided comprehensive medical services to 361 cases across various specialties, including Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Ophthalmology, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dentistry, ENT, Orthopedics, Chest Diseases, and Dermatology. He added that all medications were provided free of charge, and 35 cases requiring advanced follow-up were referred to the Main University Hospital for further examinations and necessary treatment.

It is worth noting that organizing such convoys reaffirms the university’s humanitarian and societal mission to provide high-quality healthcare services and promote health awareness among citizens. The university continues to implement its medical convoys regularly to deliver services across different areas of the governorate.
