The initiative, during which the doctor makes home visits or to any place where the patient is, especially the elderly, without any financial compensation, has been highly appreciated on social networks and has also been praised by many Egyptians and Sudanese.
Doctor Ahmed Nabil spoke about the details of his initiative with Sky News Arabia, saying:
I started this initiative by pure chance, and I couldn’t imagine the big and huge interaction with her to the point that it surprised me. I graduated from Alexandria University Faculty of Medicine and since 2019 I have a scholarship to specialize in family medicine and primary health care in Aswan, and I have already obtained this scholarship at the end of last March. The specialty of family medicine in which the doctor is able to diagnose all human diseases in all specialties. Recently, I was participating in a charity initiative to screen children from charity kindergartens in Aswan. I found it a good opportunity to take advantage of my travels and offer free exams to our Sudanese brothers who came to our country because of the clashes in their country, especially the elderly who cannot go to the doctors. As soon as I announced this initiative through my Facebook account, I received hundreds of calls from Sudanese nationals inside and outside Egypt asking me to go see their relatives. Every day, I go to two or three visits to examine our Sudanese brothers, most of whom are elderly and suffer from chronic illnesses, and the long journeys cause them complications. The purpose of the initiative was not a desire for notoriety, but rather solidarity with our Sudanese brothers, and the nature of my work in the specialty of family medicine makes me mainly visit patients. This initiative came about by chance and through personal effort, and it can be developed and expanded with charities and associations.
