Within the framework of the social responsibility strategy of the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources (MoPMR) and its continuous keenness to enhance the contributions of its companies in supporting health care, Gastec signed a cooperation protocol with Mervat Soltan Charity Foundation supporting “Egypt in Our Eyes” initiative to combat the causes of blindness and visual impairment for the incapable people in Beni Suef.
