5TH EDITION
STIGMA
2023
We have chosen Stigma to be our focus in 2023 because it is cross cutting with several physical and mental illnesses, in addition to being the reason behind physical and psychological illnesses. Medfest EG believes that films and arts are highly useful in society since they enable viewers to get an understanding of people's lives and how stigma can have a significant impact on people's wellness.
