Egypt’s Ministry of Health and Population urges citizens to use free tumor screening services that’re available across the country. The ministry says that catching cancer early is one of the factors that leads to successful treatment outcomes. I hope you will take advantage of these services.
The message was shared on Monday as it is part of the 100 Days of Health” campaign. This campaign is an effort across the country that gives free medical checkups and early cancer detection to everyone.
Health workers said that the program is meant to help fill in the gaps when it comes to getting care. They also hope it will encourage the people who might not come for screening because they are worried about the cost.
According to the ministry, the core objective of the service is straightforward: identify tumors before they progress, since earlier diagnosis is directly linked to significantly better chances of recovery.
Officials reiterated that regular medical checkups, rather than waiting for symptoms to appear, play a central role in that effort. The screening is being provided entirely free of charge at participating facilities across the country.
Citizens seeking more information or wishing to book an appointment can call the ministry’s hotline at 105 or 15335, or visit the official campaign website, www.100millionseha.eg, for further details on eligibility and locations.
The “100 Days of Health” initiative forms part of a broader push by the Egyptian government to expand preventive healthcare coverage and reduce late-stage cancer diagnoses, which remain a significant public health burden across the region.
By removing the financial barrier to early screening, authorities hope to shift public habits toward routine checkups rather than reactive treatment once symptoms have already advanced.
Health officials have not specified an end date for the current phase of the campaign but continue to encourage widespread public participation, particularly among groups considered at higher risk for undiagnosed tumors.
