CAIRO – 2 August 2021: Egyptian Ministry of Health reiterated its calls on women to seek early detection test of breast cancer, saying that 60 percent of breast cancer cases that were detected early do not need chemotherapy. Early detection units work from Saturday through Thursday, from 9 am to 3 pm. Citizens can reach the nearest health unit by searching the 100 Million Healthy Lives website. The 100 Million Healthy Lives campaign screens Egyptians for breast cancer, Hepatitis C and chronic diseases. The Ministry of Health and Population vowed to completely eliminate the disease from Egypt in 2022.
