The scientific day aimed to enhance pharmacists’ skills and promote the exchange of expertise among specialists in this vital field. The sessions included presentations of several clinical case studies and discussions of appropriate clinical pharmacy interventions, with the participation of leading professors and experts in breast and women’s oncology.

Pharmacists from several healthcare institutions took part, including the General Administration of Pharmaceutical Affairs at the Ministry of Health and Population, the Secretariat of Specialized Medical Centers (Al-Salam Oncology Hospital and Mit Ghamr Oncology Center), the General Authority for Health Insurance (Nasr City Oncology Center), the General Authority for Hospitals and Educational Institutes (Al-Matariya Teaching Hospital), and the Healthcare Authority branch in Ismailia (Ismailia Medical Complex).
