Giza: The Egyptian Red Crescent organized a medical convoy to 'Umm Hani Elderly Care Home' in the Imbaba district of Giza governorate, where residents received medical examinations in internal medicine, dermatology, and orthopedics, along with free distribution of necessary medications.

According to State Information Service Egypt, the initiative also included blood sugar and blood pressure checks, distribution of 36 personal hygiene kits, and the provision of health and nutrition awareness sessions.
