Egypt’s Ambassador to Eritrea, Yasser Hashim, said that the
Egyptian Agency of Partnership and Development sent a medical convoy in the field of ophthalmology to Eritrea, that was situated there from April 28 to May 7. He said that the measure came in coordination with Egypt’s Ministry of Health, adding that the convoy included four doctors and a medical equipment engineer.
