His Holiness Pope Tawadros II received at the Papal Residence in Cairo this morning a group from the “CMANA” Medical Charitable Foundation, in the United States of America, who provided medical services for a week at Misr Al-Mahaba Hospital in Bani Mazar, Minya, where they performed more than 60 surgeries in various specialties, some of which were very precise surgeries. They also conducted examinations for more than 200 outpatients in the hospital.
The “CMANA” team was accompanied by a group of youth from the Church of the Virgin Mary, East Brunswick, New Jersey, USA, and the priest of the church, Fr Mark Hanna, who provided a number of various social services, especially for people of special needs, in coordination with the Al-Raae and Om Al-Nour Foundation.
