The event brought together supporters from various sectors to honor Baheya’s journey, which has become an icon of hope for thousands of breast cancer warriors.
The celebration was graced by H.E. Dr. Maya Morsy, Minister of Social Solidarity, representing Prime Minister Dr. Mostafa Madbouly, and H.E. Dr. Ashraf Sobhy, Minister of Youth and Sports. Also in attendance were Justice Amal Ammar, President of the National Council for Women, H.E. Ambassador Nabila Makram, President of the National Alliance for Civil Development Work, Eng. Tamer Shawky, Chairman of Baheya’s Board of Trustees, and members of the Board, alongside a distinguished group of public figures.
During the event, officials and ministers delivered speeches expressing their deep appreciation for Baheya’s journey, acknowledging its vital contributions to breast cancer care and support. They reiterated their commitment to continuing their support to ensure Baheya remains an icon of quality healthcare for Egyptian women.
The evening also saw prominent figures, including Dr. Hossam Mowafi, Dr. Niazi Sallam, Chairman of the Egyptian Food Bank, and Mr. Mohamed El-Etreby, CEO of the National Bank of Egypt.
A host of media personalities who have long supported Baheya’s mission also attended, including TV presenters Doaa Farouk, Eman Riad, and Dina Amer, while renowned TV host Rami Radwan presented the event.
One of the highlights of the night was the launch of a fundraising campaign, aiming to raise 100 million by the end of Ramadan to further support Baheya’s mission, a new milestone in the hospital’s decade-long journey of generosity and care.
Eng. Tamer Shawky, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Baheya Foundation, expressed his gratitude and pride for the achievements Baheya has accomplished over the past ten years. The hospital has provided more than 5 million medical services, conducted early detection screenings for over half a million women, and offered free treatment to more than 23,000 women.
Additionally, Baheya has raised awareness across the country, educating over 75,000 women about the importance of early breast cancer detection. He emphasized that these accomplishments would not have been possible without the support of Baheya’s successful partners and donors from all over.
The celebration wrapped up on a high note with a memorable performance by the legendary El Masreyeen band, led by the iconic musician Hany Shenouda, adding a special touch to the evening. Hosted at the Marriott Mena House with the Pyramids as a backdrop, the event stood as a powerful testament to the love, support, and commitment that continue to drive Baheya forward.
It is worth noting that the Baheya Foundation’s role extends beyond providing early detection services and free breast cancer treatment.
The foundation is also dedicated to spreading awareness about the importance of early detection among women across Egypt through awareness seminars. Moreover, Baheya offers psychological and emotional support to breast cancer warriors through support group sessions, art workshops that teach handicrafts, literacy classes, and comprehensive support for both patients and their families throughout their treatment journey.
