iRead Foundation, a non-profit organization aimed at reviving reading in the Arab world, has signed a cooperation protocol with Baheya Foundation for the Early Detection and Free Treatment of Breast Cancer. Under this protocol, iRead Foundation will launch comprehensive libraries within Baheya hospitals containing 200 books from various fields. These libraries will be operated by iRead Foundation and will remain open to Baheya patients for a full year.

iRead Foundation will also support Baheya's libraries by donating between 50% to 100% of the profits from the sales of any book produced by the foundation during the protocol period. These funds will be used to establish other libraries within Baheya hospitals and provide cultural and psychological support to Baheya patients.

Founded in 2018, iRead Foundation aims to build a community connecting readers from all over the Arab world, highlight books in various fields, and contribute to enriching knowledge and educating citizens.

The cooperation protocol was signed at the Baheya Hospital branch in Giza in the presence of Mrs. Engy El-Saban, member of the Board of Directors of iRead Foundation; the writer and screenwriter Ahmed Mourad, member of the Board of Directors; and Mrs. Laila Salem, member of the Board of Trustees of Baheya Foundation.

On the sidelines of the signing, Mrs. Engy El-Saban said: "We are happy to collaborate with Baheya Foundation and provide cultural and psychological support to Baheya patients. We believe that reading is a powerful tool that can help people recover from illness and live a better life."

Writer and screenwriter Ahmed Mourad said: "We are committed to promoting a reading culture in the Arab world, and we believe this cooperation is an important step in that direction. We hope Baheya patients will benefit from our new libraries and that they will contribute to improving their psychological health."

Mrs. Laila Salem said: "We are grateful to iRead Foundation for its continuous support to Baheya patients. We believe these new libraries will be a great source of happiness and comfort for Baheya patients."
