Beheira Governor Mostafa Hadhoud on Saturday said the governorate plans to establish a specialized hospital for early detection of children's tumors.
The governor, who met with a group of doctors and consultants, said that a plot of land was chosen in Kafr al-Dawar to set up the hospital.
The governorate bodies are contacting the prime minister and the health minister to allocate the land and start work there, he added.
The governor also ordered the formation of a seven-member technical committee to serve as board of trustees for the project.
