Behind the Scenes

The project team has held series of meetings in the premises of NTP center with Rotaract and Worldwide Health Forums NGOs. The meetings aimed to define the role of each partner in organizing the event and to brainstorm possible activities to run along the event. Multiple simulation visits to Al-Azhar Park was done before the event to ensure good organization.
The planning encompassed meetings conducted for the appointed TB representatives in the directorates in all governorates. The meetings sensitized the idea and discussed the possible activities that can be held in Cultural palaces and Universities in collaboration with Medical Students’ Association (IFMSA-Egypt).
