Dr. Ahmed El-Kased, President of the University, stressed that Menoufia University is keen to provide health care to university employees and organize many medical convoys for early detection of chronic diseases, viral liver diseases, early detection of breast and cervical cancer, eye diseases and prevention to spread health and educational awareness among employees. Stressing the university's keenness to provide the best means of health care for employees using the latest diagnostic and therapeutic techniques in hospitals The university and the latest medical devices and modern medical analysis laboratories. The university also always seeks to participate in preserving the health of individuals by participating in presidential awareness and educational initiatives and spreading health awareness among citizens, which achieves the principles of sustainable development and Egypt's Vision 2030.

The university president also called for the importance of spreading health awareness among workers to prevent diseases by holding awareness and health seminars for workers and medical convoys and applying occupational health and safety standards against various diseases and maintaining the health of workers and achieving a healthy work environment with healthy and safe foundations for workers.

Dr. Sobhi Sharaf, Vice President of the University for Community Service and Environmental Development, also pointed out that the medical convoys aim to detect various diseases early and avoid infection with them, especially eye diseases, which is what the early detection convoy for glaucoma or blue water aimed to achieve and follow up on disease cases and provide appropriate treatments for each case. More than 100 employees in the various departments of the university's general administration were examined for examination, and approximately 70 disease cases were transferred to the university hospitals to complete medical examinations and x-rays to measure eye pressure with CT scans and provide appropriate treatment for them. The convoy also distributed free therapeutic drops to those suffering from high eye pressure until the completion of diagnostic tests and scans to reduce the incidence of glaucoma.

Dr. Farid Wagdy, Vice Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry for Community Service and Environmental Development Affairs, indicated that the convoy examined and diagnosed the workers using the latest eye diagnostic device ICare ic 100 to measure eye pressure in record time, more accurately and easier without drops to dilate the pupil or anesthetic drops. It is the latest high-precision device in early diagnosis techniques for any pathological causes that cause damage to the optic nerve using eye-touch technology only, which may lead to gradual loss of vision in cases of late diagnosis. He also indicated that the ICare ic100 device is capable of signing approximately five to ten readings to measure eye pressure in a fraction of a second, explaining that the device has the ability to diagnose the infection, which the patient may not feel any symptoms in the early stages until significant damage occurs to the optic nerve and field of vision. Therefore, periodic examinations are necessary to detect glaucoma early to maintain healthy vision.
