<div>At the invitation of the president and leadership of the Egyptian Social Democratic Party, Dr. Hossam Badrawi attended the party&#8217;s 2026 General Conference on Friday, November 6, 2026, at the Royal Lily Hotel.</div>
<div>
<p>The conference brought together approximately 1,200 members of the party&#8217;s General Assembly, including party leaders and representatives from various governorates, to elect the party&#8217;s president and board of directors.</p>
<p>When asked by news agencies and journalists about the reason for his attendance and his decision to accept the invitation, Dr. Hossam Badrawi explained:</p>
<p>First: The decision of the party&#8217;s president to relinquish his position, despite being a well-regarded and popular leader, demonstrates his commitment to the principle of the peaceful transfer of power. I commend him for this position, and my respect for him has grown because he has applied this principle to himself and his own party. Such an example deserves respect and recognition. My attendance is an expression of that appreciation.</p>
<p>Second: The Egyptian Social Democratic Party is a respected political party, and its representatives in both chambers of Parliament have demonstrated a strong and active presence.</p>
<p>Third: I respect the party&#8217;s institutional approach to governance, combining centralized and decentralized management.</p>
<p>Zohran emphasized that handing over the reins to a new leadership today is not merely an organizational procedure, but a genuine victory for the values of social democracy upon which the party was founded. It also offers a practical example to Egypt&#8217;s political landscape of how power can be transferred with dignity and responsibility.</p>
<p>He further stressed that the party will continue to serve as a voice representing the middle class and the most vulnerable segments of society, affirming that the engine of genuine development begins with investment in education and healthcare and the achievement of social justice.</p>
<p>Zohran extended special thanks to Dr. Hossam Badrawi.</p>
<p>In his address to the conference, he delivered a firm message to young party members and provincial secretaries, pointing out that the party&#8217;s strength does not derive from central leadership positions or internal rivalries, but from its actual presence in streets and villages, its direct engagement with citizens&#8217; concerns, and its commitment to providing services to the communities it represents.</p>
<p>He explained that the party&#8217;s journey, spanning more than fifteen years, had witnessed numerous differences in perspectives. However, these differences had always been resolved within institutional frameworks through the Higher Committee, the Political Bureau, and the General Conference. He called on everyone to rally behind the new leadership and extend their full support to ensure that the party continues to be a strong and influential political force.</p>
<p>The conference concluded in an atmosphere of democratic spirit and enthusiasm. The speeches, level of participation, and overall proceedings reflected a deep awareness of the demands of the coming phase. The outcomes of the conference reaffirmed the Egyptian Social Democratic Party&#8217;s continued role as one of the main pillars of peaceful civic and political engagement in Egypt, drawing on its mature political experience and the tangible support of national figures and forces who participated in this exceptional event.</p>
<p>Dr. Hossam Badrawi was subsequently invited to take commemorative photographs with party members, in a scene reflecting their deep appreciation for his distinguished political and academic career, as well as the genuine and longstanding friendship between Mr. Farid Zahran, the party&#8217;s leadership, and Dr. Hossam Badrawi, in an atmosphere filled with warmth, affection, and mutual respect.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Conference on Women&#8217;s Health and the &#8220;Age of Hope&#8221; Opens at Giza Palace, Bringing Together Leading Physicians and Prominent Public Figures</h2>
<p>The Giza Palace Hall in Sheikh Zayed City hosted an extensive medical and awareness conference at 9:00 p.m. on Friday, October 30, 2026, focusing on women&#8217;s health after menopause.</p>
<p>The event opened with an inspiring address by Dr. Hossam Badrawi, who spoke about the greatness of women and emphasized that this stage of life should be seen as the beginning of a happy new chapter, with another 30 or 40 years of life ahead. He also stressed that women are a fundamental source of happiness.</p>
<p>The conference, organized through the efforts of Dr. Omaima Idris, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Kasr Al-Ainy Faculty of Medicine, and Dr. Rasha Kamel, Consultant in Obstetrics and Gynecology, featured a series of rich panel discussions bringing together distinguished physicians and experts. Their key contributions included the following:</p>
<h3>Dr. Hossam Badrawi on the Women&#8217;s Leadership and Medical Excellence of His Colleagues</h3>
<p>Dr. Hossam Badrawi described Dr. Omaima Idris as a source of pride for women&#8217;s leadership in science. He noted that her leadership of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology during his tenure as its head marked a major turning point, ushering in a new era of modernization, the inauguration of new specialized units, and the development of its operations and programs.</p>
<p>He also highlighted her influential role in establishing Rowida Hospital, which has become a prominent example of a private healthcare institution in Egypt that recognizes and embraces its social responsibility.</p>
<p>From her early days as a resident physician working alongside Dr. Badrawi, through her leadership of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department and her subsequent pioneering achievements, Dr. Omaima—and Rowida Hospital, which she established with her sister—stand as a source of pride for Egyptian women.</p>
<p>Dr. Badrawi also described Dr. Rasha Kamel as a continuation of this legacy: a new source of energy and hope, carrying forward the efforts of those who came before her. He sees in her the talent, excellence, and promise of the younger generation of Kasr Al-Ainy.</p>
<h3>Dr. Mohamed Momtaz: A Pioneer in Fetal Medicine</h3>
<p>Dr. Mohamed Momtaz, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Kasr Al-Ainy Faculty of Medicine, was described by Dr. Badrawi as one of the department&#8217;s most distinguished leaders, a pioneer in fetal medicine, and the founder of its specialized unit, which he helped establish and sustain.</p>
<p>Dr. Badrawi also praised his leadership of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Society, noting that it is opening new horizons for cooperation among obstetrics and gynecology departments and specialists throughout Egypt.</p>
<p>Dr. Mohamed Momtaz delivered an important lecture on <strong>Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)</strong>. He stressed the critical importance of undergoing a mammogram before starting any hormone therapy, as well as having regular annual breast-density assessments to ensure safety and minimize potential risks.</p>
<h3>Dr. Dina Rashid Bahgat: Genetic Testing and Hereditary Risk</h3>
<p>Dr. Dina Rashid Bahgat, whom Dr. Badrawi described as the daughter of his former professor and role model, Professor Mohamed Rashid Bahgat of Clinical Pathology at Kasr Al-Ainy, discussed the importance of genetic testing, including BRCA1 and BRCA2, to identify inherited susceptibility to breast cancer and other cancers before making a decision to begin hormone therapy.</p>
<h3>Dr. Ola: Protecting Bone and Muscle Health</h3>
<p>Dr. Ola, Consultant and Professor of Rheumatology and Physical Medicine, drew attention to the rapid risk of osteoporosis after menopause. She explained that women may lose approximately 20% of their bone mass during the first year following menopause.</p>
<p>She recommended adopting a healthy lifestyle that includes walking outdoors, getting adequate sunlight, and performing resistance exercises to preserve muscle mass and prevent muscle fibers from being replaced by fat cells.</p>
<h3>Dr. Sherif Abdel Fattah: Breaking the Silence</h3>
<p>Dr. Sherif Abdel Fattah, Professor and Vice President of the Royal College in London, praised the concept behind the conference. He emphasized the importance of breaking the silence surrounding menopause, stressing that women should not have to suffer silently during this stage of life.</p>
<h3>Dr. Hend El-Maamoun: A Comprehensive Lifestyle Approach</h3>
<p>Dr. Hend El-Maamoun spoke about the importance of adopting a comprehensive lifestyle to support women&#8217;s health. Her recommendations included intermittent fasting and paying particular attention to dietary fiber as an essential component of a healthy approach to treatment.</p>
<h3>Dr. Amr El-Nouri: An Example of Academic Integrity and Professional Excellence</h3>
<p>The conference also welcomed Dr. Amr El-Nouri, Professor at Kasr Al-Ainy, as one of the distinguished medical figures participating in the event.</p>
<p>Drawing on his experience working in the United Kingdom, as well as his scientific integrity and professional competence, Dr. Badrawi described him as an exemplary model of what a university professor should be.</p>
<h2>International and Media Participation to Break the &#8220;Silence Barrier&#8221;</h2>
<p>The conference also benefited from active international and media participation, all aimed at breaking the social silence surrounding menopause.</p>
<p>Dr. Jenny from the United Kingdom was among the invited speakers. She discussed the positive cultural shift in Western societies, where actresses, celebrities, and other public figures have increasingly begun speaking openly and proudly about menopause, helping to break the social stigma associated with it.</p>
<p>The session also welcomed two prominent media personalities as honorary guests: Mona Abdel Ghani and Soheir Gouda.</p>
<p>Mona Abdel Ghani delivered a powerful message, calling for the rejection of the term &#8220;Age of Despair&#8221; (<em>Sin Al-Ya&#8217;s</em>) and its replacement with <strong>&#8220;Age of Hope&#8221;</strong> (<em>Sin Al-Amal</em>), as advocated by Dr. Hossam Badrawi.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the distinguished broadcaster Soheir Gouda emphasized that chronological age has little significance compared with <strong>&#8220;health age&#8221;</strong>—the true measure that every woman should focus on when considering her well-being and quality of life.</p>
<h2>A New Beginning Filled with Health and Vitality</h2>
<p>The conference concluded by emphasizing the importance of psychological and family support, alongside the need to transform prevailing social attitudes toward menopause.</p>
<p>Rather than viewing this stage as an ending, society should recognize it as the beginning of a new chapter—one filled with health, vitality, activity, and renewed possibilities.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>In an Atmosphere Brimming with Youthful Energy and Creativity, the Cairo International University Theatre Festival Launches Its Eighth Edition, “The Sahbet El Saada Edition,” with Exceptional Initiatives</strong></p>
<p><strong>Cairo —</strong> Amid an atmosphere filled with youthful enthusiasm and a passion for theatre, a press conference was held on Saturday, October 17, 2026, to announce the details of the eighth edition of the Cairo International University Theatre Festival. This year’s edition is named in honor of the celebrated Egyptian actress and media personality Esaad Younes and bears the title “The Sahbet El Saada Edition,” in recognition of her distinguished artistic career.</p>
<p>The announcement marks the culmination of seven years of continued success, during which the festival has established itself as a serious platform supporting university theatre in Egypt. Overcoming numerous challenges, it has become a genuine bridge connecting university talent from Egypt, the Arab world, and the international community. The press conference was held under the generous patronage of Prime Minister Dr. Mostafa Madbouly, with the support of Dr. Abdel Aziz Konsowa.</p>
<p>With measured words and a profound vision, Professor Dr. Hossam Badrawi, Chairman of the Festival’s Supreme Committee, delivered a speech that captured the audience’s attention. He placed theatre and the arts at the heart of Egypt’s national project to shape and develop the Egyptian character, emphasizing that culture, the arts, sports, and music are not luxuries, but rather “the fourth and fundamental pillar of Egypt Vision 2030.”</p>
<p>Dr. Badrawi also drew attention to Egypt’s enormous demographic potential, noting that the country has 18 million children under the age of sixteen, in addition to millions of young people at the university level. Investing in the awareness, values, and emotional development of these generations through theatre, he stressed, is a “national necessity.”</p>
<p>Using figures to demonstrate the festival’s continued growth, Dr. Badrawi announced that this year’s edition would feature participation from 30 countries, welcome 250 Arab and international guests, and engage more than 2,000 students in its activities.</p>
<p>He proudly described the event as “a pinnacle of civil society success,” explaining that it relies on self-financing and sponsorships without placing an additional burden on the state budget. He also observed that the growing number of theatre initiatives recently adopted by the state reflects the success of the festival’s ideas and the expanding influence of its work.</p>
<p>In a surprise announcement that was warmly received by attendees, Dr. Hossam Badrawi unveiled the launch of the “Jusoor” (Bridges) initiative to support school theatre in public schools. The initiative will begin in Ismailia Governorate, extending the reach of artistic engagement to younger generations from an early age.</p>
<p>For his part, director Amr Qabil, founder and president of the festival, reviewed its eight-year journey, paying tribute to the young volunteers on the organizing committee, whom he described as the driving force behind the festival.</p>
<p>Qabil announced the most significant development of this edition: the introduction of a new <strong>School Theatre Competition</strong>, designed to discover and nurture talent at an early age, with eight schools taking part. The festival will also feature individual talent competitions under the titles “University Star” and “School Star.”</p>
<p>Distinguished actress Azza Labib, the festival’s director, highlighted the scale of international participation. She revealed that more than 130 theatrical productions had been submitted, of which 13 were selected to compete. The productions will be evaluated by judging panels comprising prominent artistic figures from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, and Mexico.</p>
<p>The conference also featured an open discussion with journalists and participants. In an inspiring contribution, 16-year-old media presenter and young actress Farida Samir proposed establishing a collaborative initiative between the festival and the State Award for the Young Creative, specifically in the field of playwriting. Her suggestion reflected the festival’s commitment to listening to and engaging with the aspirations of a promising younger generation.</p>
<p>It was also confirmed that activities and workshops would take place in the mornings at El Samer Theatre, while theatrical venues across Cairo would come alive in the evenings to host university performances.</p>
<p>The festival will officially open on October 24 and run through October 30, featuring international theatrical productions and workshops.</p>
<p>Once again, the event reaffirms Cairo’s enduring position as a capital of creativity and celebrates university theatre as a vibrant, ever-renewing force that continues to breathe new life into Egyptian and Arab performing arts.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Amid an atmosphere filled with hope and optimism, as though walking through a living work of art, the city of 10th of Ramadan witnessed an exceptional opening ceremony on Tuesday for the kindergarten section of January 25 Basic Education School.</p>
<p>The event was far more than a traditional ribbon-cutting ceremony to inaugurate a building. It was a living embodiment of an integrated vision led by Dr. Hossam Badrawi, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Takatof Development Association, which has taken upon itself the mission of building the Egyptian individual before building physical structures.</p>
<p>The project was made possible through cooperation with a private-sector partner that believes in the role of civil society. Hosny Textiles Company, represented by its Managing Director, Ms. Marian Hosny, provided the funding for the project.</p>
<p>The moment visitors step into the newly renovated kindergarten section, they can sense the scale of the transformation. The colorful surroundings and modern facilities stand in striking contrast to what was, until recently, a deteriorating building. This reflects the approach adopted by Takatof, one of the associations led by Dr. Hossam Badrawi. The association has committed itself to a distinctive development model: taking over a dilapidated school every nine months, restoring it, breathing new life into it, equipping it fully with the latest educational tools and facilities, and then handing it over to the state as a model to be emulated.</p>
<p>Yet Takatof’s real achievement extends far beyond completing construction and renovation. The association’s philosophy is rooted in <strong>sustainability</strong>. For up to two years after a school’s inauguration, it remains under the association’s direct supervision and close follow-up. During this period, the school becomes a hive of activity, with teachers receiving training and professional development in the latest teaching methods. The aim is to ensure that they fully understand and embrace the modern educational system introduced at the school, while safeguarding its continued effectiveness and implementation.</p>
<p>This commitment to children’s well-being also includes health insurance coverage and comprehensive medical care for young pupils, providing them with a safe and supportive physical and psychological environment in which to learn and grow.</p>
<p>The positive spirit of the occasion was evident throughout the inauguration ceremony, which began at 3 p.m. with a guided tour of the new classrooms, allowing guests to see the results of these efforts firsthand. Everyone then gathered in the large marquee prepared for the celebration.</p>
<p>Ms. Mirai Nassim, Chief Executive Officer of the Takatof Development Association, opened the proceedings with a warm welcome, followed by a moving video documenting the journey of challenges and achievements that transformed the school into the bright, welcoming space it is today.</p>
<p>Dr. Hossam Badrawi then delivered the keynote address, emphasizing the importance of civil society’s role in advancing education. The Chairman of the Takatof Development Association stressed that early childhood—the period before the age of six—is one of the most important and formative stages of human development. The issue, he explained, goes far beyond establishing and equipping nurseries and kindergartens; it concerns laying the foundation for the development of the Egyptian character.</p>
<p>Dr. Badrawi emphasized that educational success cannot be measured by curricula alone. It also depends on the child’s lived experience within the educational institution, shaped above all by teachers’ and administrators’ awareness of the value and impact of what they offer. This stage, he explained, requires a focus on nurturing curiosity, encouraging children to ask questions, and accepting their mistakes as part of the learning process. Genuine education and the development of young minds, he affirmed, are achieved through continuous encouragement—not punishment.</p>
<p>Dr. Badrawi concluded by referring to the fourth pillar of Egypt Vision 2030, which places strong emphasis on character-building. The objective is to raise a generation that respects its country’s history, has confidence in its present, and is equipped to create hope for its future.</p>
<p>The event received broad support from both the community and government representatives. Ms. Marian Hosny, Managing Director of Hosny Textiles Company, explained that contributing to this pioneering educational project was a continuation of the mission and dream of her late father, Mr. Robert Hosny, who had long sought to improve the quality of life for the people of 10th of Ramadan City.</p>
<p>In her remarks, she highlighted the deeper developmental significance of the initiative:</p>
<p>“My father invested in the land, built factories, and helped raise an entire generation of workers and employees. Today, we are carrying the torch forward and continuing that journey—but by investing in the most valuable asset our city possesses: its children.”</p>
<p>She expressed her firm belief that these children would soon become the nation’s future leaders. She also reaffirmed Hosny Textiles’ commitment to continuing its community service and supporting development initiatives in the city in the years ahead. She extended special thanks to the company’s managers and employees, whose sincere efforts had helped make this achievement possible.</p>
<p>Official attendance also reflected the high regard for the association’s work. Dr. Hala Abdel Salam delivered a speech on behalf of the Minister of Education and Technical Education, praising the exemplary project. She called on Takatof and the Investors Association to expand similar initiatives into the areas most in need across Sharqia Governorate, rather than limiting such efforts to 10th of Ramadan City.</p>
<p>Mr. Zuhairi, speaking on behalf of Engineer Hazem El-Ashmouni, Governor of Sharqia, and Mr. Mohamed Ramadan, First Undersecretary of the Ministry of Education in the governorate, welcomed the guests to Sharqia. He affirmed the commitment of the governorate’s executive and educational leadership to supporting and developing the educational process and providing the best possible opportunities for students.</p>
<p>He stressed that kindergarten should not be regarded as merely a brief preparatory stage. Rather, it is the foundation upon which a child’s character takes shape and through which cognitive abilities and skills develop. Serious investment in early childhood education, he added, is the first guarantee of reducing school dropout rates, limiting learning loss, and combating illiteracy among children as they progress through the education system.</p>
<p>Anyone who experienced the atmosphere of today’s opening ceremony would recognize that improving education in Egypt is not a distant dream. It is a tangible reality, made possible by dedicated hands that believe investing in the minds and health of our children is the most important investment we can make in the future of our nation.</p>

<p><strong>At the halls of Giza Palace, Dr. Hossam Badrawi delivered an inspiring message to Egyptian women at the “Nourak” event.</strong></p>
<p>On the evening of Friday, October 9, 2026, the halls of Giza Palace were filled with exceptional energy, warmth, and appreciation for every Egyptian woman. An outstanding gathering of women came together for a special day dedicated to women at every stage of life, from childhood to motherhood and the hopeful years beyond fifty. The event was the result of an ongoing collaboration and partnership between Parkville and Al Nada Hospital, under the leadership of Dr. Omar Abdel Aziz.</p>
<p>The day began with a lively atmosphere ahead of the official proceedings. Representatives of Parkville delivered the opening and welcoming remarks, followed by Professor Dr. Omar Abdel Aziz, Chairman of the Board of Al Nada Hospital, who helped set the stage for a day designed specifically to offer every woman moments of care, attention, and appreciation.</p>
<p>All eyes then turned to the stage as Professor Dr. Hossam Badrawi stepped forward to deliver a speech filled with profound messages of love and appreciation for women.</p>
<p>With his distinctive storytelling style and ability to touch hearts, Dr. Badrawi went beyond conventional medical discourse, taking the audience on a journey that combined science and humanity. He began by highlighting a fascinating biological fact suggesting that the female represents the original source of human life, explaining how mitochondria—the energy-producing structures within the body&#8217;s cells—are inherited exclusively from the mother. It was as though he were reminding every woman that she is a source of energy for the universe.</p>
<p>With a tone full of sincerity and gratitude, Dr. Badrawi revisited excerpts from an article he had previously published, reflecting on ten women who had influenced his life, shaped his character, and helped define his personal and professional journey.</p>
<p>His words overflowed with love as he described his mother as a source of beautiful music and a safe haven. He spoke with pride about his daughter, Dalia, who overcame the challenges of diabetes to become an athletic champion and an inspiring role model at Harvard University. He also paid tribute to his wife, his lifelong companion and the secret behind his family&#8217;s strength and unity; his sister, Dr. Nadia, whom he described as a pioneering pediatrician; and his wise grandmother, whose profound saying, “Much Is Less,” inspired an article he wrote for <em>Al-Masry Al-Youm</em>. He concluded this personal journey by speaking about his granddaughter, whom he sees as a flower of life.</p>
<p>His reflections culminated in a tribute to Egyptian women throughout history, who have consistently led, persevered, and taken center stage during the most challenging times.</p>
<p>Dr. Badrawi&#8217;s words offered a powerful dose of inspiration and positive energy. He redefined the meaning of strength, emphasizing that women possess capabilities equal to those of men while bearing a greater share of the responsibility for the continuation of humanity.</p>
<p>Following this inspiring and deeply moving experience, the event continued with activities addressing every aspect of women&#8217;s lives. These included discussion sessions with leading physicians exploring <em>“Her Story: From Birth to the Age of Wisdom,”</em> important awareness sessions on the significance of early breast cancer screening under the theme <strong>“Pink It Up!”</strong>, and sessions on beauty and radiance led by dermatology and cosmetic medicine experts.</p>
<p>The day concluded with prize draws and surprises that brought joy to the attendees, followed by a warm dinner that brought everyone together in moments of sharing, connection, and happiness.</p>
<p>At Giza Palace, “Nourak” was far more than a medical conference. It was a genuine celebration of every woman. And Dr. Hossam Badrawi was the voice that translated this celebration into a message destined to remain alight in the hearts of everyone who attended.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3></h3>
<p>At the invitation of Mr. Mohamed El-Baz, Dr. Hossam Badrawi participated yesterday, October 4, 2026, in a literary discussion of the book <em>Days of Pain</em>, which explores Naguib Mahfouz, the attempt on his life, and the impact of the incident on both him and society.</p>
<p>The event was held at the Naguib Mahfouz Museum in Al-Ghouria, in the Al-Azhar district, in the presence of a distinguished group of writers and journalists.</p>
<p>The discussion panel consisted of Dr. Hossam Badrawi, poet Ahmed El-Shahawy, writer Dr. Yousry Abdullah, and Dr. Bassem Adel.</p>
<p>The speakers were moderated by writer Mohamed El-Baz, while members of the audience actively and positively participated in the discussion.</p>
<p>Dr. Hossam praised the book and spoke about how deeply he was affected by events he had previously been unaware of, particularly the impact of the assassination attempt on Naguib Mahfouz and the circumstances surrounding his death years later.</p>
<p>Dr. Hossam highlighted Naguib Mahfouz&#8217;s philosophical dimension and its relationship to the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, as well as his symbolic abilities in his novel <em>Children of the Alley</em>.</p>
<p>He also connected these ideas to the impact that artificial intelligence is likely to have on human thought in the future.</p>
<p>Accompanied by Mr. Tarek El-Taher, Director of the Naguib Mahfouz Museum, Dr. Hossam visited the museum&#8217;s rooms and praised those behind its establishment and their efforts to preserve and maintain it at such a distinguished level throughout the years.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>A Night Where the Fragrance of History Met the Nobility of Humanity: Dr. Hossam Badrawi Participates in a Cultural Symposium at Baheya Hospital and Reflects on the Meaning of “Giving Back”</h2>
<p>On September 26, 2026, at the theater of Baheya Hospital, and amid an atmosphere filled with warmth and elegance—as though those present were living through a chapter of a novel written in letters of gold—the hospital hosted a unique cultural and humanitarian symposium attended by Professor Dr. Hossam Badrawi.</p>
<p>The symposium was far more than a passing cultural gathering. It was a journey into the depths of history, drawing from the present some of the finest meanings of generosity, compassion, and giving.</p>
<p>The evening began with a journey through literature and history, centered on a discussion of <em>Al-Musta&#8217;simiyya</em>, the novel by the distinguished writer Dr. Hisham Abu El-Naga. The novel revisits history in order to restore justice to Queen Shajar al-Durr, that extraordinary woman whose intelligence and insight, had they not prevailed, might have left Egypt vulnerable to the Crusaders.</p>
<p>Through this work, the author removes the layers of injustice that have long surrounded this historical figure, presenting her as a powerful example of the strength and resilience of Egyptian women in the past. That image resonates beautifully with the strength and determination of the women of Egypt who are fighting their battles today within the walls of Baheya.</p>
<p>A distinguished group of intellectuals, writers, and artists participated in the discussion of the book, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Renowned journalist and writer Mohamed El-Alfy</li>
<li>Journalist and novelist El-Sayed Shehata</li>
<li>Literary critic Dr. Farghaly Haroun</li>
<li>Distinguished poet and writer Elham Afify</li>
<li>Renowned visual artist and writer Hussein Noh</li>
</ul>
<p>In a moment in which hearts came together, Dr. Hossam Badrawi delivered his address under the title <strong>“Giving Back”</strong>, taking the audience on an emotional journey reflecting on the meaning of generosity.</p>
<p>In his characteristically smooth style and profound philosophical approach, Dr. Badrawi asked what it truly means to receive a kindness and how we can give something back in return. He emphasized that beauty is not merely a matter of outward form; rather, it is the impact an action leaves behind when a blessing we have received is transformed into goodness that we extend to others.</p>
<p>Dr. Badrawi also delivered a warm and deeply moving message to the <strong>“Women of Baheya”</strong>, emphasizing that our role is not limited to constantly asking them to be brave. They also have the right, at times, to feel tired or afraid.</p>
<p>He stressed that one of the most genuine forms of human “giving back” is to stand beside them in moments of weakness just as we celebrate their strength. A compassionate institution, he explained, is one that transforms good intentions into a sustainable system of care—one that guarantees continuity of treatment and preserves a woman&#8217;s dignity and humanity at every step of her journey.</p>
<p>And just as the evening began with the fragrance of history, it had to conclude with another inspiring chapter of history: the story of the remarkable Baheya Foundation.</p>
<p>It is a story that began with the extraordinary woman <strong>Baheya Wahby</strong>, who suffered from illness and was forced to travel abroad in search of treatment because Egypt at the time did not have a radiation therapy machine. Out of her own suffering came a noble wish: that such a machine be made available in Egypt so that other women would not have to endure the same hardship.</p>
<p>Her children and grandchildren did not merely fulfill her wish. They donated her home, transforming it into a remarkable medical institution that became a safe haven and a pioneering destination for women seeking free breast cancer treatment: <strong>Baheya Hospital in Giza’s Haram district</strong>.</p>
<p>Today, after years of dedication and struggle, Baheya has grown into an institution with multiple branches serving women in different parts of the country. It remains a living and enduring example of the “giving back” that Dr. Badrawi spoke about: goodness that began with one noble woman and went on to touch the lives of millions of Egyptian women.</p>
<p>Baheya remains, in every sense, a steadfast source of support for every Egyptian woman.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On the evening of Wednesday, September 23, 2026, Bibliotheca in Sheikh Zayed was more than simply a venue hosting a cultural discussion of new publications. It was transformed into a fully fledged intellectual salon—something akin to a journey that carried its audience from the harshness and complexity of the global scene into spaces of hope and creativity.</p>
<p>The moment you stepped into the hall, you were welcomed by a remarkable harmony of visual and spiritual elements: artworks and designs reflecting a deep appreciation for art, accompanied by enchanting music performed by two young talents, Nour and Sama. In her opening remarks, Dr. Fatma emphasized that the evening represented a comprehensive vision encompassing politics, development, and the promotion of optimism—qualities that distinguish Dr. Hossam Badrawi.</p>
<p>With an impressive audience of more than 75 prominent intellectual, political, and community figures, alongside more than 40 participants from around the world joining via Zoom, the accomplished journalist Nesma El-Saeed took the lead in moderating the discussion, smoothly guiding the audience from the warmth of art into the depths of politics and rational strategic analysis.</p>
<p>With his calm voice and methodical analytical mind, Dr. Hossam Badrawi began by dissecting the global scene through the lens of his first book, <em>A World Falling Apart</em>. He invited us to imagine the world as a “chessboard” being rearranged, emphasizing that the world is not moving toward a new balance so much as new poles of power are taking shape.</p>
<p>With remarkable candor, he explained that American dominance rests not only on military power, but also overwhelmingly on knowledge production, technology, and investment in artificial intelligence at American universities. He also highlighted regional opportunities, pointing to the potential strength of an alliance among Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and Pakistan—an alliance capable of creating an influential pole if the necessary political will exists.</p>
<p>Yet the lifeline out of this fragmentation was present in his second book, <em>Toward an Integrated Educational Philosophy for Human Development</em>.</p>
<p>Badrawi addressed the core problem with courage, criticizing systems based on rote learning and memorization that stifle creativity, and emphasizing that developing an “innovative and critical mind” is the only reliable guarantee for keeping pace with the future. He stressed that reforming education and healthcare is not merely a matter of plans on paper, but a “political decision” requiring sustained political will that does not shift with every change of ministerial portfolios.</p>
<p>The evening did not remain a one-way exchange between speaker and audience. It expanded into an open community dialogue. As soon as Dr. Badrawi opened the floor for discussion, the hall became a forum for addressing the issues that occupy citizens’ minds and weigh heavily on their lives—from economic challenges and the lack of fairness in allocating constitutional budgetary priorities, to the crises facing the healthcare and education systems, and finally the pressures of everyday life amid rapidly changing circumstances.</p>
<p>It was here that the wisdom of the evening became particularly evident. Dr. Badrawi listened carefully and thoughtfully to every question and criticism, addressing each issue and responding to every question with complete transparency and rationality. Rather than delivering emotional speeches, he offered analytical perspectives and practical solutions based on sound management of the state’s financial and human resources, as well as the need to restore public trust through policies that support citizens and invest in their awareness and capacity.</p>
<p>The symposium eventually came to an end, and the attendees left the halls of Bibliotheca, but the intellectual impact of the evening will continue to resonate.</p>
<p>Dr. Hossam Badrawi succeeded in bringing together prominent figures and ordinary citizens, blending art with politics and connecting criticism with solutions within a single intellectual framework. In doing so, he affirmed a powerful idea: the fragmentation of the world around us can only be confronted through greater coherence and awareness within ourselves.</p>

<blockquote><p>“The world is changing its features at an accelerating pace, and the rules of the game are being reshaped. The concept of power is no longer what we once knew it to be. We are entering a new era, which we can explore through Dr. Hossam Badrawi’s latest book, <strong>A World Unraveling</strong>.</p>
<p>But should we simply leave this world fragmented without offering ideas and visions? Does Dr. Badrawi have something to offer that might help us navigate and contain the situation?</p>
<p>Yes—and this is what he promises us in his second book, <strong>Towards an Integrated Educational Philosophy for Human Development</strong>.”</p></blockquote>
<p>The two books are available in <strong>both Arabic and English</strong>.</p>
