Fabio Wardley faces off with Justis Huni ahead of his homecoming fight Over 20,000 are expected to be at Portman Road on the weekend and Wardley added: 'The support of the club as a whole is something that's hard to put into words. "It's not just been the odd player here or there, or the odd staff member, everyone around the club has been so supportive and invested in me, wanting this to come off in the years beforehand. 'From the players to everyone that's around the club and Mark (Ashton) himself, who has been a massive advocate and massive pusher of pulling this off… ultimately this doesn't come together without him being keen on it and him really wanting it to go ahead. 'So I could not be more thankful to him and the club as whole for their backing, their support – and ultimately just, at the crux of it, looking after one of their own. 'And I think that's the strong ethos of this club. We support and get behind our own.'

Gustave Roussy Egypt starts cancer treatment for UHIS patients in June - Health
The Universal Health Insurance Authority (UHIA) signed an agreement late on Tuesday with the French Gustave Roussy Institute of Oncology to provide its medical services to the Universal Health Insurance System (UHIS) beneficiaries starting next month. In a statement by the UHIA, Dr. Ahmad Morsy, Executive Director of Gustave Roussy International Egypt, expressed his pleasure with this collaboration and confirmed that beneficiaries will receive world-class services in line with the state's vision for a comprehensive and advanced healthcare system. Dr. Morsy added that over 150 cases have been evaluated since the partnership agreement with the Ministry of Health and Population was signed. He noted that the medical team reviewing patients includes Egyptian and French doctors. He added that agreements have been signed with the Egyptian Authority for Unified Procurement to supply all required medications and equipment and with the General Authority for Healthcare to train medical teams. UHIA CEO Mai Farid emphasized that the agreement marks an important step toward enabling UHIS beneficiaries to access specialized cancer treatment services through collaboration with one of the world's most prestigious centres in this field. She affirmed the Authority's ongoing efforts to expand its network of service providers to ensure the highest levels of quality and efficiency. Last year, Egypt turned its oldest hospital, Dar El-Salam General Hospital, established in the early 20th century, into Gustave Roussy International Egypt under a brand licensing agreement with the renowned French Oncology Institute. In 2017, the hospital was converted into a cancer-specialized hospital. Since 2019, the hospital has been a significant part of the presidential initiative for women's health, providing breast examinations for 18,000 women that year alone. Gustave Roussy International Egypt is the first branch of the French institution outside of France. In 2023, Newsweek recognized it as one of the top five cancer institutes in the world.

During a recent session of the Senate chaired by Abdel Wahab Abdel Razek, Minister of Social Solidarity Maya Morsy provided an update on Egypt's social protection programmes, which are aimed at supporting vulnerable families across the country. These programmes are carried out through various state institutions, including the Ministry of Social Solidarity, Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade, Ministry of Health and Population, and Ministry of Labor. Morsy highlighted the significant progress made in the Takaful and Karama conditional cash transfer programme, noting that the number of beneficiary families will increase from 1.7 million in 2014 to 4.7 million by 2025. The expansion prioritizes families most in need, ensuring that social support reaches those facing the greatest challenges. She also outlined a substantial increase in the state's social protection budget, which has grown from EGP 93bn in 2008 to EGP 228bn in 2014, and is set to reach EGP 635bn in 2024. This funding is allocated across various sectors, including social and health insurance, housing, and cash transfers, to ensure comprehensive support for vulnerable citizens. The Minister emphasized the continued expansion of these programmes, aiming to improve the quality and scope of services provided to targeted groups. The ongoing efforts are designed to adapt to changing economic conditions, including price increases, to ensure that the programmes remain responsive to citizens' needs. In addition, Morsy highlighted the full integration between social insurance benefits and social assistance programmes, enabling beneficiaries to seek employment opportunities without jeopardizing their social support. This integration is part of the broader strategy to promote economic independence while safeguarding social well-being for Egypt's most vulnerable citizens.
