During the plenary session of the House of Representatives chaired by Hanafi Jabali, Abdel Ghaffar said: "The medical personnel have taken heroic action to confront the dreaded pandemic and work day and night.

He said that with the intensification of the crisis, 4000 intensive care rooms were used, and nearly 3000 beds were provided.

Abdel Ghaffar presented the achievements made by the Egyptian government in the field of higher education and scientific research.
