Health: 20 million people benefited from early cancer detection
The Egyptian Ministry of Health announced that more than 20 million citizens aged 18 and above have benefited from the early detection initiative for cancerous tumors (lung, prostate, colon, and cervical cancer) since its launch in June 2023, as part of the "100 Million Healthy Lives" initiative. The program relies on an electronic questionnaire to identify risk factors and symptoms, followed by referral of suspected cases for advanced examinations and immediate treatment. It has led to the discovery of 132 lung cancer cases, 746 colon cancer cases, 259 prostate cancer cases, and one case of cervical cancer, along with the referral of tens of thousands to smoking cessation clinics. The Ministry encourages citizens to visit health units or use digital platforms to benefit from this continuous service.
