Health: 782,000+ Newborns Screened Under 100 Million Health
The Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population announced that it has screened over 782,000 newborns as part of the "100 Million Healthy Lives" initiative for early detection of genetic diseases since its launch in July 2021. The goal is to build a healthy generation free of genetic disabilities. The screening involves taking a simple blood sample from the baby's heel and analyzing it to detect 19 genetic disorders, with free treatment available for positive cases. To date, 56 centers have been dedicated to treating and monitoring genetic diseases. The ministry emphasizes the importance of continuing the initiative to ensure treatment for future generations and to reduce the incidence of disabilities resulting from early-detected genetic conditions.
