Orange Egypt Cooperates with Misr El Kheir Foundation to Provide Hospitals with FDA-Approved COVID-19 Testing Kits 

Orange Egypt has signed a new cooperation protocol with Misr El Kheir Foundation and

“Prime Speed Medical”- a company specialized in operating and managing public & private

hospitals-  to provide hospitals with FDA (U.S. Food & Drug Administration) -approved rapid

test kits to diagnose COVID-19 infected cases where Orange and Misr El Kheir Foundation

will purchase and distribute the needed kits for COVID-19 detection among 3 hospitals

covering the capital, north, and south of Egypt with the aim of expanding the hospitals’

capacity to examine citizens, detect the virus quickly and take necessary measures in due course.

Furthermore, Orange Egypt employees participated in this noble initiative out of their real

sense of social responsibility and solidarity with all Egyptians by offering financial

contributions to Misr El Kheir Foundation.

Orange was always keen to support the state’s efforts since the outbreak of coronavirus

and stand by the Egyptians in these difficult circumstances despite the current decline in

the daily infected cases. 

Under the initiative Orange aims to support the health sector by combating COVID-19 and

providing the necessary support to quarantine, isolation and fever hospitals, as well as

university and charitable hospitals including the National Cancer Institute in Cairo, Tanta

University Hospital in Gharbeya, and Al-Rajhi University Hospital in Assiut.

For her part, Hala Abdel Wadood, Head of Public Relations and Corporate Social

Responsibility at Orange Egypt, praised this cooperation that supports our community and

the health sector in Egypt that requires considerable attention in this critical time. She

unveiled that Orange Egypt focused on this sector since the outbreak of the pandemic

through cooperation with its partners and civil society institutions with the aim of

providing all means of support to the Egyptians in battling against COVID 19, its

repercussions, and negative impacts. 

“This initiative devoted efforts to support the State and its institutions to eliminate the

spread of COVID-19 through providing COVID-19 detection kits, noting that time is a really

crucial factor to get fast results in the shortest possible time during this pandemic, as it can

help in identifying the appropriate treatment for the cases so that doctors can initiate treatment accordingly,” she added. 

Abdel Wadood explained that providing the three aforementioned hospitals with the

necessary tools aims to cover large areas with the vital health care services as they are all

central hospitals that provide services to many of the surrounding governorates.
