Cottonil Egypt’s CEO, Basel Samaqia, expressed how proud Cottonil is to have been allowed to shed light on this life-threatening disease, as awareness and early detection can save lives.

Dr. Mohamed Kelany, Lecturer of Clinical Oncology at the Faculty of Medicine, Ain Shams University, said, “latest statistics showed that prostate cancer is the fourth most serious type of cancer in Egypt and the world and that more than 9% of Egypt’s population fall among men group with the highest risk. 65% of men diagnosed with prostate cancer either do not receive the treatment needed or are examined at a late stage, thus reducing the chance of cure and increasing the risk of death.”

Founded in 1999, Cottonil is the leading cotton underwear brand in Egypt, with approximately 50% of Egypt’s underwear market and a sizable volume of investments. The company has over 5,000 workers, with a wide distribution network that spans over 300 outlets around Egypt and 4 factories.
