Health Minister Khaled Abdel Ghaffar chaired a board meeting of the Emergency Medical, Genetic and Rare Diseases Fund on Monday to review operations and initiatives.
The meeting took place at the Ministry of Health headquarters in the New Administrative Capital. The board reviewed recent activities and future plans and approved bylaw amendments in line with Law No. 5 of 2024.
The fund has supported around 17,000 corneal transplant operations since its establishment. It also examined cooperation protocols with the Central Bank of Egypt and the Agricultural Bank of Egypt.
The executive director’s mandate was extended on an interim basis. Board members stressed the need to expand partnerships with civil society organisations.
