Health

We invest in improving people’s health by providing access to quality medical care and sanitation regardless of location. 

The Mikhail Foundation has partnered with Hope Multiplied and H.O.M.E to launching mobile clinic in 2020 to service remote parts of Egypt unable to support traditional hospitals.

The Hope Mobile Health Clinic provides holistic service to the students the foundation currently supports and their families. 

The Hope Mobile Health Clinic was founded on the belief that every man, woman, and child, regardless of financial means or religion, deserves high quality, coordinated, community based, family centered and comprehensive care. 

The Hope Mobile Health Clinic operates 5 times a month in various areas around Egypt. It will host two regular clinics in the rural communities and villages in Minya, Asyut, and two ongoing clinics in Cairo suburbs in Haggana and Izbet el Nakhl. 

The Need

The World Bank and Egypt’s Ministry of health have set out to improve health services at 600 primary care facilities and 27 hospitals across Egypt.

To join and support the efforts of investing in the health of Egyptian people, the Hope Mobile Clinic targets areas where there are no nearby care facilities or hospitals in remote villages.
