Dr Wael Safwat proudly participated in his capacity as head of the Egypt Health Foundation and the Egyptian NCD Alliance for in a week-long workshop organized by the International Federation of Red Crescent (IFRC) and the Egyptian Red Crescent. The event brought together participants from Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Arab world to discuss providing support to individuals living with chronic conditions—such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer—during crises, disasters, and conflicts. We also addressed the issue of tobacco use, emphasizing the importance of incorporating it into training programs and activities for the youth, specialists, and volunteers working with the IFRC and the Egyptian Red Crescent, given the prevalence of tobacco use during crises and the preventable diseases, harm, and additional burdens it causes. Egypt Health Foundation and Egyptian NCD Alliance is ready to collaborate actively on that.
