He expressed his delight at holding the 5th Annual Scientific Student Forum at Kafrelsheikh University, which has become a distinguished milestone in the journey of the Faculty of Nursing.
The President of Kafrelsheikh University emphasized that this year's conference title reflects true intellectual maturity. He pointed out that evidence-based nursing is not merely an academic term, but rather represents an integrated philosophy in healthcare practice based on making decisions founded on reliable scientific evidence, which makes a real difference in the quality of healthcare provided to patients.
The President added that we are not talking about a nurse who only executes instructions, but rather a healthcare practitioner who possesses the ability to think, analyze, evaluate, and make decisions. This is what Kafrelsheikh University seeks to establish by developing the education system and linking it with practical application and scientific research.
Dr. Yahia Eid indicated that the university believes the student is an essential partner in producing knowledge, not just a recipient of it. He explained that student conferences represent a real educational environment that contributes to building the student's personality scientifically and professionally, as well as developing critical thinking and innovation skills.
The President of Kafrelsheikh University explained that hosting this forum for the fifth consecutive year, with the participation of 25 Egyptian universities alongside international students, reflects the growing confidence in this pioneering scientific experience. It confirms the success of the Faculty of Nursing in presenting a distinguished model of applied education based on scientific research.
The President of Kafrelsheikh University stressed that the conference is not limited to research presentations only, but also includes scientific posters, graduation projects, and cultural and sporting activities, creating an integrated environment to refine students' skills in various fields.
The President of Kafrelsheikh University said, "The nurse who stands before the patient at a critical moment needs not only manual skill but also certainty of mind, and this certainty cannot be achieved except through solid, evidence-based science."
Dr. Yahia Eid praised the development witnessed by the forum over the past years, emphasizing that its growth from limited participation to the participation of 25 universities reflects the success and credibility of the experience. He valued the efforts of Dr. Sabah Abu El-Fotouh and the Faculty of Nursing team in organizing this distinguished event.
The President of Kafrelsheikh University concluded his speech by announcing the launch of the conference events, wishing all participants success.
