Tamer Hosny: "Patients No Longer Know What to Eat"

"Egyptian Health": Influential Figures Are Important in Raising Awareness

The Egyptian artist Tamer Hosny directed a notable message to the Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population, calling for the intensification of reliable awareness content on social media platforms, in light of the widespread conflicting health information that confuses the public and disorients patients regarding dietary and treatment patterns.

"People Have Become Confused"

Hosny explained in a post on his official Facebook account that the era of social media is flooded with health information, some of which is accurate and some incorrect, causing significant confusion for many, especially patients who are no longer able to distinguish between trusted medical advice and unscientific information.

In his message, he said:

"To the esteemed Ministry of Health, with all love and respect… In the era of social media, a large amount of information about food has reached us, some correct and some incorrect. People have become confused, and patients no longer know what to eat."

He pointed out that the differing medical opinions circulating online further increase the state of confusion, stressing the importance of official authorities taking responsibility for presenting accurate health information clearly and simply.

Call to Produce Simple Awareness Videos

Hosny suggested that the Ministry of Health launch a series of accredited awareness videos aimed at correcting the false health information spreading on social media platforms.

He emphasized that these videos should be presented by a doctor with extensive knowledge and experience, capable of communicating with the public in a simplified manner that reaches all segments of society so that everyone can easily understand the health messages. He added:

"Truly, we all need to understand."

Ministry of Health Praises the Initiative

The Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population responded to Hosny’s message, expressing appreciation for his words and initiative, which reflect his dedication to enhancing health awareness in society.

The ministry clarified that efforts for health awareness continue through media campaigns and specialized videos, including the “You Are the Solution” campaign during Ramadan, which delivers medical information in a clear and simplified manner to ensure it reaches the largest possible segment of citizens.

Invitation for Tamer Hosny to Participate in Awareness Efforts

The ministry stressed the importance of having influential and trusted figures like Tamer Hosny contribute to spreading health awareness and enhancing the reach of accurate medical messages to different segments.

They invited him to participate in these initiatives, noting that cooperation between official institutions and public figures can greatly contribute to strengthening health culture in society.

The ministry concluded its message by wishing the artist continued health and wellness, and the Egyptian people further health and safety.
