Public Health to screen 10 million children
The Ministry of Health and Population announced that more than 10 million 129 thousand children have been screened since the launch of the President’s initiative for early detection and treatment of hearing impairment and deafness in newborns, which began in September 2019. The initiative focuses on increasing the number of audiometry screening centers to 34, equipping them with the latest devices. Confirmatory tests have been conducted for approximately 71,000 children, cochlear implants have been performed for 3,318 cases, and over 13,000 hearing aids have been fitted. The goal of the initiative is to improve the quality of healthcare for children and provide a safe, healthy life, aligning with the “100 Million Healthy Citizens” campaign and Egypt’s Vision 2030. The number of screening centers has been expanded from birth up to 28 days old to 3,825 health units, with training for medical staff, electronic data registration, and the creation of a complete medical file for each child. Additionally, hearing screening has been included in birth certificates.
