Sarhan drew attention to the impact of these repercussions on patient treatment, as the hospital followed the child after treatment until age 25, before currently being followed up at age 22 to reduce expenses .
And he said: «If the donations were good, we would not reduce the age to 22 and we would reduce the number of pioneers, which are 18,000. expensive, and operations are also very expensive. It’s a problem, and it’s not just 57, but we’re going to suffer a lot.”
Regarding the hospital’s reliance on donations, Sarhan added: “There are two problems, the time of the corona crisis and the negative publicity that has occurred due to some writers’ articles, and all his time has been spent, and who came back to donate again it was 6 months endowment and tanta issue took a lot of money.
