Under the auspices of Dr Mostafa M. Kamal, President of Assiut University, the Centre for Human Rights Research and Studies (CHRRS), together with the Centre for Egyptian Women Affairs (CEWA), organized a forum on the topic: "The People, The Constitution, and the Dominion of the Nation." Dr. Essam Al Zanaati (CHRRS) Director declared that the forum aims at defining the motives and justifications on which attitudes towards accepting or rejecting the Constitution are decided. It also discusses the various positions of the authority that undertakes the task of writing the Constitution. Likewise, the forum provided information on the proposed draft of the constitution from more than one source so as to offer proper opportunity for all views and visions to be conveyed. Mr. Ahmed Al Assiuti, Lawyer at the Centre for Arab Women Affairs, indicated that the project of the Constitution represents the present and future of every citizen on this country particularly at this critical period during which the Egyptian Society suffers great division, polarizations, and attempts of power practice to impose individual viewpoints. For this reason, it becomes necessary for every specialized authority to adopt a strategy for explaining related issues and clarifying the shortcoming in the constitution in hope to attain the best form possible. On his part, Mr. Hani Al Gibaali, a scholar specialized in Constitutions, asserted that Egypt has got a vast experience in this field. He also assured the significance of the constitution as the fundamental law which identifies the organization of the country and its ruling system, coordinates the work and responsibilities of state authorities, and declares human rights and duties. He also added that the writing of constitutions must be undertaken in a state of political tranquility, away from any political conflicts or struggles because such political struggle and drives for authority lead to bad intentions and dishonest aims among the struggling powers; a matter that contradicts the desired national accordance, agreement, participation and unification over one definite aim which are vital requirements for the writing of constitution. Besides, all societal categories, classes, and marginalized groups must be represented. It is worth noting that the forum handled and discussed the most disputable articles through questions from the attendees and answers to propose an ideal texture of the constitution articles. The participants have come to the conclusion that the referendum on the constitution project is not related to choice between civil or religious state, but rather a choice between democracy and despotism.     

In his keynote speech at the opening proceedings of the Sixth Annual Conference of the Egyptian Society of hepatic viruses, organized by the Department of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Faculty of Medicine, Assiut University, University President, Dr. Mostafa Kamal asserted the importance of adopting an integrated strategy to eliminate and reduce the rate of Hepatitis infection in Egypt. To this end, he advocates the integration of roles and co-ordination of efforts and nationwide orientation since the disease represents a risk to the structure of the nation, the health of its citizens, and the safety of future generations.  Professor Kamal also emphasized the effective impact of the University and its facilities on the prevention, treatment and medical education in Upper Egyptian provinces.   On his part, Dr. Abdel Ghani Abdel Hamid, General Secretary of the conference indicated that the problem of Hepatic infection occupies the first rank among infectious diseases in Egypt.  He also said that a report of the United Nations has indicated that the number of infected patients has reached about 12 million people representing 18% with high annual increase placing Egypt in the lead of world countries suffering from the disease.  Dr. Abdel Hamid pointed out that the risk of the disease lies in its complications that reach utter liver cirrhosis or liver tumors. He also indicated that the ratio of prevalence varies among Egyptian provinces as it reaches about 28.4% in the Delta provinces, 26.5% in Central Egyptian provinces, 19.5% in Upper Egyptian provinces, 8.2% in Cairo, and about 5.9% in Alexandria.   Dr. Medhat Nasr, Conference Chairman indicated that Hepatitis (HCV) represents a national problem that necessitates coordination of efforts to limit viral spread. Prof. Nasr pointed at the inability of hospitals to accommodate the increasing numbers of infected patients and the limited methods of prevention including the role of Assiut University and the Department of Endoscopy in vaccinating students and hospital staff in an attempt to eliminate the spread of the disease.  Prof Nasr also said that HCV infection can be transmitted through the mouth, teeth and blood transfusions. Dr. Mohammed Adawy Nafea, Honorary Chairman of the Conference, said that in most causes of infection, HCV spread most likely because of   several behavioral habits in Egyptian society such as using shaving tools, blades, syringes, surgical instruments and blood transfusions; a matter that renders both patients and the government responsible for the spread of the disease. Prof Nafea indicated that budgets now are insufficient for the confronting the disease and its serious developments complications.
