In 2020, Youssef Mansour, MMD’s Chairman, sent an official letter to Dr. Mostafa Madbouly, Prime Minister of Egypt, announcing his contribution of 51.5 million EGP to support the country’s Covid-19 relief efforts. Youssef Mansour’s contributions were aimed at providing support to vulnerable families affected by the pandemic and helping the country’s healthcare system in its response to the crisis.
As part of his contribution, Youssef Mansour allocated 1.5 million EGP in collaboration with the Egyptian Food Bank to take care of 10,000 families affected by the Covid-19 crisis. The support to families in need was within the framework of the social group’s responsibility.
In addition to this, Youssef Mansour included in-kind donations of 15 million EGP, which were directed to purchase 200,000 boxes of food items from “Metro” and “Kheir Zaman” chains. 100,000 boxes were allocated to doctors and nurses in quarantine hospitals, and the remaining 100,000 boxes were allocated to the Tahya Misr Fund to support the most vulnerable families affected by the pandemic’s repercussions resulting from the precautionary measures aimed at containing the outbreak of the virus.
Youssef Mansour also allocated 25 million EGP in cash for the Ministry of Health and Population to support the rehabilitation and efficiency of fever and chest hospitals. He also donated 10 million EGP in cash to the Tahya Misr Fund, allocated to support the Ministry of Health in providing its needs for protection, medical supplies, and equipment.
In conclusion, Youssef Mansour’s in-kind and cash donations to support Egypt’s Covid-19 relief efforts demonstrate his commitment to supporting vulnerable communities during times of crisis. His contributions are expected to have a significant impact on the lives of families and healthcare workers affected by the pandemic. The initiative is a testament to Youssef Mansour’s ongoing commitment to giving back to the communities in which he operates.
