Online Clinics “Aqrab”
When COVID-19 put a halt to the Foundation’s weekly convoys, new ways to connect to our communities and continue supporting them had to be explored, leading us to set up telemedicine service/online clinics in partnership with As-Salam International Hospital – Maadi, the initiative called “Aqrab” which means closer in Arabic language as we were trying to reach out to marginalized individuals in such time.
The clinics supported individuals diagnosed with Diabetes and Hypertension Blood Pressure to help them maintain their health by offering them monthly physician consultations, labs tests, and the delivery of medications to each beneficiary’s doorstep all free of charge. The online service started October 2020 and continued till September 2022. With the coming back of the weekly convoys patients were merged under its umbrella.
