Egyptian artist Tamer Hosny sent a message to the Ministry of Health and Population, calling for an increase in reliable awareness campaigns on social media to combat the spread of conflicting health information that confuses patients and the public. Hosny explained in a post on his official Facebook account that social media today is filled with information about nutrition and health, some of it correct and some inaccurate, leading to widespread confusion, especially among people who need trustworthy advice on diet and treatment. 'In the social media era, a lot of information about food has come at us, some correct and some wrong, and people are in a state of confusion, and the patient doesn't know what to eat,' the artist said. He stressed the importance of providing trusted health content that clarifies scientific facts and combats rumors, saying, 'Honestly, we all need to understand.' In turn, the Ministry of Health and Population expressed its appreciation for the artist's initiative, confirming its continuation of implementing media campaigns and awareness videos aimed at correcting the spread of false medical concepts online. The ministry referred to the 'You Are the Solution' campaign during the month of Ramadan, which aims to simplify medical information and deliver it to citizens clearly. The ministry emphasized the role of trusted public figures, such as Tamer Hosny, in supporting these messages and expanding their reach, inviting him to participate in awareness campaigns to enhance health culture among all segments of society.
