Egyptian Ambassador to Sierra Leone Friday donated about 110 cartons of medicines to the Ministry of Health and Sanitation as part of its humanitarian gesture to the people of Sierra Leone.

His Excellency Ambassador Mamoud Ezzat expressed his country's commitment to the bilateral relationship between Sierra Leone and Egypt noting that the donation was one of the series of activities his government has embarked on in this country.

He said the donation will help the ministry to address the numerous health problems affecting vulnerable and poor people who dearly need medical attention.

"We have given these items for our brothers and sisters in Sierra Leone. I hope it will help to solve the health problems in the country. This is the second time we are donating such medical items to Sierra Leoneans," he said.

Minister of Health and Sanitation, Dr Soccoh Kabia thanked the Ambassador for his assistance noting that the donation was timely.

He said the donation was not a surprise to Sierra Leoneans as the Egyptian government has always been giving support to the country.

"I know Egyptians for their sound medical backgrounds. I am sure that the items donated are of higher medical values," he concluded.
