The Ambassador of the Sovereign Order of Malta to Egypt Mario Carotenuto inaugurated in October 2017 a clinic for the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes in Shoubra (Cairo). The new facility can see some 2000 of the most needy and disadvantaged people in the Egyptian capital every month.

The clinic’s premises have been made available by the Congregation of Our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd thanks to a partnership agreement with the Order’s embassy.

The clinic, named after Blessed Gerard, the Order’s founder, offers our embassy a new and significant opportunity to develop its healthcare and social initiatives in Egypt.
