Over 10 million children screened for hearing loss
The Egyptian Ministry of Health has launched an initiative for early detection of hearing impairment and loss in newborns, assessing over 10 million children since September 2019. The number of hearing screening centers has increased to 34, equipped with the latest devices, with more than 71,000 children referred for re-screening and receiving various treatments, including cochlear implants and hearing aids. The initiative aims to improve the quality of healthcare for children and ensure a healthy, safe life, in line with Egypt's Vision 2030 and the "100 Million Healthy Lives" campaign. Additionally, healthcare personnel have been trained on the use of devices, and efforts have been made to incorporate screening results into birth certificates to enhance healthcare coverage.
