Minister of Health Hala Zayed announced on Tuesday the dispatch of an Egyptian medical team to Chad, headed by Assistant Minister for Public Health Initiatives Mohamed Hassani, as part of the initiative of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi to treat one million Africans from Virus C.
This comes in light of Egypt's presidency of the African Union (AU), and its intention to open centers for hepatitis viruses in several African countries to transfer Egypt's experience in the presidential initiative "100 million health" to eliminate the virus C and detect noncommunicable diseases.

The spokesman explained that the team's visit will last about a month, however, a representative of the Hepatitis Commission will continue receiving patients after the return of the team.
In the same context, he pointed to the continuation of the first Egyptian medical team in South Sudan clinic, which opened last month in the capital Juba, to follow-up examinations and treatment for positive cases.
