Attending the event, Zayed said 204 muscle atrophy cases have been detected in Egypt, of which more than 32 can be treated. Egypt will start treating the muscle atrophy cases starting next week, Zayed noted. The ministry said that the drug used to treat cases of muscular atrophy is of high cost, and will be provided for treatment in Egypt.
