File- Press Photo - 'To build it' campaign in cooperation with Nation's Future party arranges medical and food convoys in Halayeb, Shalatin and Abu Ramad of the Red Sea Governorate, December 1, 2017. CAIRO – 30 March 2025: Egypt's Ministry of Health will distribute 25 free medical convoys in 21 governorates across the country during the first day of Eid al-Fitr. These convoys will operate for three days, as part of the health insurance plan for citizens celebrating Eid al-Fitr, said Hossam Abdel Ghaffar, the official spokesperson for the Ministry of Health and Population in a statement on Sunday. Abdel Ghaffar noted that the medical convoys provide free examination and emergency services and treatment to citizens. He noted that the convoys' operating hours begin at 1:00 PM and continue until 7:00 PM. The convoys include specialties such as internal medicine, pediatrics, otolaryngology (ENT), orthopedics, surgery, ophthalmology, dentistry, cardiology, dermatology, obstetrics and gynecology, and family planning services. They also provide radiology and medical laboratory services, as well as referrals for cases requiring surgery to hospitals affiliated with the ministry. The Egyptian Dar Al-Ifta has officially announced that Monday, March 31, will be the first day of Eid Al-Fitr in Egypt, following the unsuccessful sighting of the Shawwal crescent moon. According to the announcement, Sunday will mark the final day of Ramadan, with jubilant Eid al-Fitr celebrations scheduled to commence on Monday, lasting for three festive days. Egyptians will perform the Eid prayer on Monday, 15-20 minutes after sunrise, around 6:10 AM, welcoming the joyous occasion with prayers and festivities.
