The Egyptian Drug Authority has launched a pharmaceutical care initiative titled “Ahlena… Amanah” in collaboration with Cairo University, as part of its commitment to strengthening cooperation with academic institutions and enhancing efforts in pharmaceutical awareness and education across all segments of society.
The initiative aims to raise medication awareness among the elderly by educating them on the principles of safe and effective medicine use, contributing to achieving optimal therapeutic outcomes. It also seeks to promote sound pharmaceutical practices through educational content based on scientific and practical foundations.
The initiative witnessed the delivery of its first awareness activity through a lecture titled “Drug Interactions of Diabetes Medications,” highlighting the risks associated with drug interactions and methods of prevention, in addition to introducing the role of the Egyptian Drug Authority and its initiatives in supporting the rational use of medicines.
The initiative includes a series of regular visits to Cairo University to deliver diverse awareness programs across various pharmaceutical fields, in coordination with the Center for Elderly Care and Sciences. This comes within the framework of a joint cooperation protocol aimed at unifying efforts and maximizing the benefits of shared expertise.
This initiative comes as part of integrated national efforts to enhance community health awareness and establish a comprehensive approach to pharmaceutical care. It supports the country’s direction toward improving the quality and sustainability of healthcare services and reaffirms the Egyptian Drug Authority’s commitment to implementing global best practices to ensure the optimal use of medicines, enhance patient safety, and improve quality of life.
