In his speech, Dr. Konsowa extended his thanks to the Alexandria Orphan Sponsorship Association’s initiative, civil society organizations, businesses, and Rotary members who contributed to this great humanitarian work, and for preparing the guest house at the highest level to host children and their families until they receive chemotherapy and radiation treatment, especially since most of the people visiting the hospital are from outside Alexandria Governorate who find it difficult to visit the hospital.
