Within the framework of Capital University’s active role in serving the community and stemming from its social responsibility, this initiative comes in line with the “Bidaya” movement launched by His Excellency President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, which aims to build a new generation of citizens.
These initiatives reflect the university’s commitment to developing students’ sense of social responsibility, strengthening their sense of belonging, and encouraging positive community participation. They also contribute to enhancing teamwork skills, which positively impacts students’ personalities and their roles within society by increasing their capacity for giving and active contribution to building a better community. Education is not limited to academic achievement alone; rather, it becomes more effective through hands-on participation and practical implementation on the ground.
During the convoy, 627 patients across various medical specialties were examined, and the necessary treatment was provided free of charge.
