Veterinary Medicine Is Egypt’s First Line of Health Defence, MP Says

MP Nevine Ragaei has described veterinary medicine as the first line of defence in protecting Egyptians’ health, stressing its importance to public wellbeing.

The House of Representatives member also identified the sector as a fundamental pillar of national food security, placing veterinary care at the heart of both priorities.

Her remarks presented veterinary medicine as more than a service concerned with animal health. She framed it as a sector with a direct responsibility for safeguarding citizens.

Ragaei’s statement underscored the connection between protecting public health and securing the country’s food supply, with veterinary medicine playing a central role in both.
