In recognition of Aswan University’s service role, under the patronage of Prof. Louai Saad El-Din, Acting President of Aswan University, and to build bridges of communication with the African continent, the Department of Urology and Andrology at Aswan University of Medicine participated for the fifth consecutive time in the Charity Convoy to Zanzibar, specifically at Kufengi Hospital. The convoy began operations on Friday, January 24, 2025, and is scheduled to continue until the end of January.
The convoy included numerous departments, including urology, general surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, and cardiology. More than one university participated, including Aswan, South Valley, Sohag, Assiut, and Saudi Arabia.
At the cutting-edge of the participants from Aswan University were:
Prof. Mohamed Zaki El-Dahshoury, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Professor of Urology and Andrology, and Urethral Strictures.
Dr. Ahmed Salah El-Din Mohamed, Lecturer of Urology.
Dr. Mahmoud Salah, Consultant in Anesthesia and Surgical Intensive Care.
Al-Dahshoury, Dean of the Faculty, pointed out the keenness of the Faculty of Medicine in general, and the Department of Urology in particular, to participate annually in the international convoy to provide medical services to patients in Zanzibar, both children and adults, so that families do not have to endure the burden of traveling.
His Excellency also highlighted the number of surgical procedures performed, which included 25 cases of deformity in infants and 25 operations in adults, including surgeries and endoscopies to remove stones and the prostate. He emphasized that the convoy’s responsibility went beyond just doing surgical operations and included checking on patients.
