The Yemen Foundation for Cancer Patients Care and Charitable Works held a reception party at its headquarters in Cairo today, Wednesday, May 15, 2024 AD, for thyroid cancer fighters, the “Tenth Hope Batch,” on the occasion of their arrival to receive treatment with radioactive iodine in Egypt.
At the beginning of the meeting, the Director General of the Foundation, Mr. Omar Barzeq, conveyed the greetings of Hajj Abdel Wasi Hayel, Chairman of the Founders’ Council, and Ms. Thikra Al-Nono, Vice Chairman of the Foundation’s Board of Trustees, to all patients and companions from the Tenth Batch of Hope, wishing them safety and a pleasant stay within the framework of their medical trip program in Cairo.
The Foundation’s director, Barziq, also expressed his happiness at the arrival of the Foundation’s guests, after the suffering of travel, preparations, and follow-ups that lasted weeks until they arrived.
