Dr. Mohamed Amara, CEO of Baheya Hospitals Group, mentioned that this year's Baheya conference saw great success, with extensive participation from within and outside Egypt.
He added that in six years, Baheya has achieved the dream of early detection and free treatment of breast cancer through the efforts of our doctors, scientific research, and staying updated with the latest scientific developments in medication, diagnosis, and treatment. With what we have accomplished, we are ready to reach a global level.
Dr. Mohamed Amara emphasized that reassuring every woman about her health means reassuring the sister, daughter, and mother, who are the pillars of society and the foundation of every household.
Dr. Amani Hilal, Head of the Oncology Department at Baheya Center and Conference Chair, stated that breast cancer is the most common type among women, highlighting the importance of early detection, which leads to a 96% cure rate, thereby significantly reducing treatment costs.
