The College of Medicine Launches Major Remote Medical Caravan in Sidi Barani and Matrouh

On February 12, 2025, Misr University for Science and Technology (MUST) launched a comprehensive three-day medical convoy to Sidi Barani Central Hospital and Matrouh General Hospital, organized by the College of Medicine.

Running through February 14, 2025, the multi-day mission provided free access to essential healthcare services and surgical triage for 1,336 to 1,500 patients and local residents, extending vital clinical support to disadvantaged and refugees residing in remote border communities.

Specialist healthcare professionals conducted extensive multi-specialty clinical examinations, diagnostic evaluations, and surgical assessments while supplying complimentary emergency and chronic medications. Active student volunteering proved vital to the convoy’s operations, with MUST medical students facilitating patient registration, assisting in diagnostic procedures, and helping manage pharmaceutical distribution across both hospital sites.

Through this health outreach programme and its ongoing collaboration with regional healthcare centers, MUST continues to bridge urban-rural healthcare gaps and deliver high-impact medical relief to remote populations across Egypt.
