Health Minister Adel Adawi met on Saturday with members of a medical convoy which will head for Ethiopia.
During the meeting, the minister reviewed the mission and the role of the convoy.
"The political leadership is keen on boosting African-Egyptian cooperation in all fields, including the health domain," Adawi said.
The convoy is part of a program of treatment convoys to the Nile Basin and African countries.
Several other convoys will be sent to Chad, Uganda, Burundi and other Nile Basin countries.
