ERC covers treatment costs for Yemeni girl battling cancer

CAIRO: The Emirates Red Crescent (ERC) has funded the medical treatment of a seven-year-old Yemeni girl, Emarat Mohammed, who has been diagnosed with a cancer tumor in her leg. The child recently underwent a successful surgery at a specialised hospital in Egypt, where the tumor was removed. She is now recovering and receiving chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The ERC responded after receiving an urgent plea from the girl's family through their Yemen office. The organisation arranged for the child and her family to be flown to Egypt, where a UAE delegation met them and ensured they received the necessary medical care. Source: Emirates News Agency
