In line with Kafrelsheikh University’s community and service role, and as part of its ongoing efforts to implement the presidential initiative “Building the Human Being” and “Dignified Life,” the university launches a comprehensive convoy (medical–therapeutic, veterinary, awareness-raising, developmental, and agricultural extension) on Thursday, February 5, 2026, in Abu Badawy Village and neighboring villages in Biyala Center, Kafrelsheikh Governorate.
Prof. Yahya Eid, President of the University, affirms that the university will continue launching medical, therapeutic, and developmental caravans to the most needy villages and areas in support of the presidential initiatives and with a commitment to providing free integrated health services. He points out that these caravans reflect the university’s national and community role in serving the local community.
The President confirms the importance of continuing to organize medical, veterinary, and agricultural convoys across the governorate, which helps alleviate the burden on citizens, provides health and service care in their places of residence, and enhances integration among the various faculties of the university.
The caravan provides medical examinations for a large number of citizens across various medical specialties, including: internal medicine, ophthalmology, ENT (ear, nose, and throat), obstetrics and gynecology, dermatology and venereology, psychiatry and neurology, pediatrics, general surgery, orthopedics, urology, neurosurgery, and dentistry.
