Notes
- Abstract:
- Sanaa was born in 1951 in Cairo. Her father was a government employee and her mother was a housewife. She went to Al-Azhar University and then went to work in the Ministry of Health. Sanaa was involved in the student protests against Sadat. She considered that the Camp David Accords and Sadat's economic policies were a mistake. She worked in Saudi Arabia for a while in order to be able to pay for her children’s education. Before 2011, she was involved in the Kefaya movement and the Doctors without Rights, a group within the Doctors’ Syndicate. Sanaa participated in the 25 January 2011 Revolution alongside her son, and protested against the military. After retiring, she remained committed to public activism to improve conditions in the Egyptian public healthcare system and for its staff. She opposed the Muslim Brotherhood control of the Doctors’ Syndicate. ( en )
