October University for Modern Sciences and Arts (MSA) had the honor of hosting Prof.Dr. Abla El-Alfy, Deputy Minister of Health and Population for Population and Family Development Affairs and President of the National Population Council, during her visit to the Faculty of Arts and Design. The visit aimed to explore avenues of cooperation in initiatives that align with the ministry’s strategic plan for community development and family empowerment, particularly in underserved areas.

During the visit, Prof. Dr. El-Alfy reviewed the faculty’s extensive efforts in collaboration with governmental bodies, local governorates, and municipalities.
