"It is a sheer pleasure and a great privilege to be allowed to participate with those great humane persons entirely devoted to their vision. Caring persons are those who share their time and concern, sparing no effort to advance a task they consider an obligation."
Prof. Mohamed Emad Salem
ELCA President
I truly believe that protecting, promoting and supporting breastfeeding alone leads to saving babies and children’s lives significantly more than any other preventive intervention.
Dr. Ghada Sayed

My very warm and sincere welcome to my colleagues and students. It is a pleasure and honor to be a founding member of ELCA and to see it grow and flourish. In this challenging time, when just surviving is an achievement, we at ELCA are becoming even stronger and more confident.
