Minister Koca was welcomed by Egyptian Minister of Health Khalid Abdulgaffar and accompanying officials at Cairo International Airport. Minister of Health Fahrettin Koca went to Cairo, the capital of Egypt, to discuss the coordination of health aid sent to Gaza and transfer of cancer patients in Gaza to Türkiye. Minister Koca and his counterpart will go to Nasser Cancer Institute Hospital and visit patients. Last week, Health Minister Koca conducted telephone diplomacy with Health Ministers of Israel and Egypt for the transfer of Gaza patients through the Rafah Border Crossing. As a result of these initiatives, the Health Coordination Team was formed, with contact persons from Türkiye, Egypt and Israel. Türkiye, which sent the health aid ship carrying approximately 500 tons of equipment, including medicines, medical devices, 8 field hospitals, 20 ambulances and medical supplies, to Egypt for the people of Gaza, had previously sent health supplies and medical personnel to the region with the Presidential plane.
