Egyptian singer Angham recovers after successful pancreatic surgery
On his official Facebook page, Saad wrote: 'Thank God for Angham's safety. As I told you yesterday, Angham entered the operating room today to remove the remaining part of the cyst on her pancreas, along with a small part of the organ itself. The operation was delicate and not easy, but thank God it went well and was successful. She is doing well, thank God. We pray for Angham to recover quickly and return safely.'
Saad had previously revealed an update on the singer's health after a recent health scare, explaining that she was scheduled to have part of her pancreas removed.
He wrote on Facebook: 'The latest health news on Angham, to reassure her fans: The doctors initially removed a portion of the cyst on her pancreas, and later decided to remove the entire cyst along with a small part of the pancreas. She is fine and will have this surgery tomorrow morning. Please pray for her; may God heal her and help her recover safely.'
Saad had earlier reassured the public about Angham's health, confirming that while she was in severe pain, she was not in danger. In a live broadcast on his Facebook page, he said: 'We were in contact today, and I'm following up with her and her son, Omar. He's been reassuring me about her, but she's not well; she's in a lot of pain. She's going through a difficult time because of some issues. God willing, in three or four days, we might know more. Please pray for her because she is going through severe pain, but there is no immediate danger. She is okay and needs our prayers for the intense pain she is enduring.'

Expelling patients
Before I started working in England, I worked at the Al-Abbassia Hospital for Mental Health in Egypt. It's one of the largest and oldest mental health hospitals, not just in Egypt but perhaps in the world. The hospital was a refuge for mentally ill patients in Egypt, especially from the poor classes who couldn't afford the costs of psychological treatment, whether for outpatient clinics or hospitalization. Despite its simple resources and limited budget, it helped treat many patients who had nowhere else to go. This was done at symbolic prices, like one pound for a ticket and free hospitalization, or LE 3,000 per month for 'economic' hospitalization. This was a fraction of the cost, considering that the cheapest stay at a decent private hospital could be ten times that price. On Tuesday, I was left speechless by a strange and, I'm sure, unstudied decision. With just one minute of thought, you'd realize this will lead to disaster. The decision is that there will be no more free hospitalization. Now, the minimum cost for a stay is LE 4,500 per month, rising to LE 11,500 per month. Meanwhile, the patients who come here couldn't even afford the one-pound ticket in the first place! Imagine telling the family of a psychotic patient who is a danger to themselves and others—and of which all global research says needs immediate hospitalization—to bring LE4,500 or LE11,500 and then we'll admit them, no problem. This is happening at a time when countries all over the world view mental health as a necessary and completely free service because of the danger it poses to the patient's own life and those of others. Here, not only are you making it cost money, but you're making it unaffordable for most of the people who come to this hospital. You're essentially telling them, 'If you don't have money, stay sick. May God be with you.' Mental health in Egypt is heading down a very bad path if this decision is not reversed as soon as possible. Silence is dangerous, and staying quiet means we are complicit in the collapse of what little mental healthcare we have left in Egypt.' The doctor knows everything about what is happening at the Al-Abbassia mental health hospital. He knows very well the patients' socioeconomic classes and their circumstances. He also knows that a patient with psychosis, for example, must be admitted immediately because they are a danger to themselves and others. Should money, which their families lack, prevent their admission? Should we leave them on the street or with their families to commit a crime without even knowing what they are doing because of their condition? I learned from a doctor at the hospital that the Prime Minister's Office had asked the hospital about the proposed fees for raising ticket prices, treatment, and admission costs. The hospital management responded by rejecting the price hike, stating that the patients could not afford it. Nevertheless, the decision to raise the fees was issued. As a result, families have been bringing their patients only to leave with them without admission or treatment. It's important to note that the new prices only cover admission and food, not treatment or examinations. So, where are these families supposed to get all of this money for a patient who is already unable to work and earn an income? Even in the hospital's children's clinic, families have been bringing their children and leaving without treatment because they cannot afford the required costs. I have a strong connection to the Al-Abbassia Mental Health Hospital. A long time ago, I conducted a journalistic campaign inside the hospital that later turned into a book titled 'The Yellow Palace.' During that campaign, I learned a great deal about the hospital and its patients. I can't forget the psychosis ward, where the patients were dangerous to themselves and others. When I read the doctor's post, that specific ward came to mind, despite the many years that have passed. I imagined those patients being kicked out into their homes or onto the streets, and the extreme danger that represents. How was this decision made, and who made it? Author's bio: Karima Kamal, a prolific writer and journalist, has held key positions in the media industry. She served as Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Sabah al-Kheir magazine, co-founded Al-Badil newspaper, and authored six books. Her contributions to journalism and women's rights were recognized through her appointments to the Supreme Council for the Press and the National Council for Women.

Health Ministry reviews Fitch agency's report on Egypt's achievements in pharmaceutical industry
The Ministry of Health and Population expressed appreciation for the report issued by Fitch Ratings in August 2025, which praised the strategic steps Egypt has taken to strengthen the pharmaceutical industry. The report confirmed that the comprehensive economic reforms and wide-ranging regulatory updates implemented by the Egyptian state have contributed to creating an attractive investment environment, enhancing Egypt's position as a leading regional hub for the pharmaceutical industry in the Middle East and North Africa region. The report highlighted that these reforms attracted major global companies to the Egyptian market. The report also lauded significant regulatory transformations, topped by the reduction of drug registration periods from 3-5 years to between two and six months, thus enabling global companies to accelerate product launches and increase registration applications. It explained that the Egyptian market continues to promote local manufacturing and technology transfer despite challenges linked to investment in research and development. It noted that in 2024, the Egyptian government signed three financing agreements with the European Union worth 36 million euros to support vaccine manufacturing and scientific research development. The report also praised the legal framework regulating clinical trials, including Law No. 214 of 2020 and its executive regulations No. 927 of 2022, which improve ethical oversight and participant protection. The report addressed health and population achievements related to medicine demand, noting Egypt's efforts to confront challenges associated with population growth and non-communicable disease prevalence through presidential initiatives for early detection and awareness. It also commended sustainable achievements in combating infectious diseases, highlighting the World Health Organization's declaration of Egypt as free from malaria, measles, and rubella, along with notable progress toward eliminating hepatitis C and B. Furthermore, the report underscored national efforts to combat diabetes through screening, early diagnosis campaigns, updating treatment guidelines, conducting the Stepwise survey, and distributing 3,000 HbA1c testing devices to primary healthcare units, ensuring unified care standards based on scientific evidence. It pointed to a noticeable decline in fertility rates from 3.44 births per woman in 2015 to 2.10 births in 2023, reflecting the expansion of reproductive health services, increased education rates, and women's participation in the labor market. Regarding cancer, the report stated that early detection initiatives, notably the President's initiative to support Egyptian women's health launched in 2019, achieved around 60 million visits, reflecting increased health awareness. These efforts contributed to a reduction in advanced cancer cases (stages III and IV) to reach 29 percent. State funding for cancer treatment doubled from 1.8 billion Egyptian pounds in 2020-2021 to 3.6 billion pounds in 2023-2024, along with ongoing investment in oncology infrastructure. Regarding hepatitis C, the report stated that Egypt was the first country to attain the World Health Organization's 'Gold Level' classification in October 2023, reflecting a commitment to reducing infection and mortality rates, and is a step toward complete disease elimination before 2030. Regarding HIV/AIDS, the report indicated that Egypt's prevalence rate is lower than the regional average and highlighted the provision of free antiretroviral treatment to all patients through an extensive network of specialized government centers, with no interruptions in drug availability over the past six years, demonstrating the sustainability of the healthcare system.

Bright Smile, Healthy Teeth: Summer Tips for White and Strong Teeth
Pasant Elzaitony A beautiful smile is more than just a sign of beauty—it's a reflection of your overall health. During the hot summer months, when dietary habits and daily routines change, taking extra care of your teeth becomes even more important to maintain their whiteness and strength. 1. Your Toothbrush Is Your Best Friend Brush your teeth at least twice a day using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste to remove food residue and plaque, which cause decay and discoloration. 2. Don't Skip the Dental Floss Cleaning between your teeth with floss or interdental brushes removes buildup that a regular toothbrush can't reach, helping to prevent gum inflammation and staining. 3. Smart Summer Diet Choices Avoid excessive consumption of sodas and processed cold juices, as they are packed with sugars and acids that erode enamel and stain teeth. Instead, opt for refreshing and healthy options like coconut water, freshly squeezed fruit juices, or infused water with lemon and mint. 4. Protect Against Summer Stains Frequent consumption of ice creams, iced coffee, and dark beverages during summer can lead to discoloration. Drink them using a straw to minimize direct contact with your teeth. 5. Stay Hydrated High temperatures can cause dry mouth, encouraging bacterial growth and bad breath. Keep sipping water throughout the day, and chew sugar-free gum to stimulate saliva production. 6. Safe and Natural Whitening Use baking soda in small amounts once a week, or try mashed strawberries mixed with a pinch of baking soda. Avoid overuse to protect your enamel. 7. Summer Dental Check-Up Before heading into vacation season, visit your dentist for a professional cleaning to remove stubborn plaque and prevent issues from developing.
