CAIRO — Egyptian Prime Minister Ibrahim Mehleb paid a June 6 visit to the National Heart Institute and Theodor Bilharz Research Institute, both located in Giza governorate. Following the visits, Mehleb transferred a group of physicians from Giza to the Upper Egypt governorates, including Sohag, Qena and Luxor.
Soon after the prime minister's visits, an extensive mobilization campaign erupted on social networking sites. A Facebook page — the name of which translates as “So that he will not be surprised when he visits" — was set up June 7 to shed light on the poor conditions in public hospitals.
