Experts noted that presidential initiatives play a pivotal role in providing a supportive environment that ensures the elderly receive their rights to comprehensive care, which contributes to improving their daily quality of life.
At the conclusion of the events, the Ministry of Health affirmed its commitment to developing health programs aimed at the elderly, with a focus on integrating modern technology into medical examinations. These efforts come within the framework of the Egyptian state's keenness to enhance social and health care for all citizens, especially those most in need of care.
