Egypt has launched the first edition of the "Health Diplomacy for Medical Students" programme, the first of its kind in Egypt and on the African continent.
The initiative was organised under the auspices of the International Federation of Medical Students' Associations - Egypt (IFMSA-Egypt) and its branch at MTI University, with support from the Scientific Association of Medical Students at the Modern University for Technology and Information (MTI) and complimentary media sponsorship from the AfroMedia Initiative for Journalism and Media.
It is aimed at raising awareness and promoting the role and capabilities of doctors within their communities.
It also demonstrates strong support for empowering young doctors and medical students in Egypt, as well as Sudanese students.
