The Egyptian Health Insurance Authority has launched its annual health campaign, &ldquo;Ramadan in Health for the Whole Family&rdquo;, for the fourth consecutive year, targeting citizens across governorates covered by the comprehensive health insurance system.
Reaching Over Half a Million Beneficiaries
Led by Dr. Ahmed El Sobky, Chairman of the Health Insurance Authority, the campaign aims to provide medical care and health awareness throughout the holy month of Ramadan. This year, the initiative is set to reach 575,000 beneficiaries in its first-phase governorates, Port Said, Luxor, Ismailia, South Sinai, Suez, and Aswan, through 562 mobile medical teams supported by specialized vehicles.
Focus on Chronic Illness and Vulnerable Groups
Dr. El Sobky highlighted that the campaign prioritises chronic disease patients, senior citizens, and other high-need groups, ensuring continuous professional medical care throughout Ramadan.
Three Key Areas of Medical Support
The campaign targets three main groups:
Individuals receiving routine check-ups and medications. Beneficiaries served through home visits. Groups undergoing early detection and preliminary health screening to prevent disease progression.
New Initiative: Early Vision Screening for Children
For the first time, the 2026 campaign includes early detection of vision problems in children, alongside monitoring patients with diabetes, hypertension, or both. Priority care also covers the elderly, persons with disabilities, low-income families, and high-risk medical cases.
Comprehensive Medical Services
Services include routine medical examinations, health education, home delivery of chronic disease medications, and distribution of educational booklets for patients and caregivers. Families are also trained in insulin administration and taught to recognise symptoms of abnormal blood sugar or blood pressure, strengthening at-home care for chronic conditions.
Supporting Early Detection and Public Health
Dr. El Sobky said the initiative aligns with national efforts to promote early disease detection, reduce complications, and improve public health. The campaign demonstrates the authority&rsquo;s commitment to continuous follow-up for vulnerable groups and patients with chronic illnesses across Egypt.
