Healthcare in Egypt as right, healthcare in Egypt as a business. Healthcare as a commodity, healthcare underfunded, a system in crisis, and yet another pillar of the social contract to erode.
My daughter recently had a holiday in Egypt with the family. She became ill with a stomach virus, dehydrating rapidly. She was rushed to a beautiful hospital receiving very high quality fully comprehensive care. She is a nurse so knows it when she sees it. This was only available to her because of her travel insurance. You do have fantastic health care but only for the wealthy. If its there it should be available for all not just for this who have the money to pay for it. So sad.
Excellent article exposing Egypt's dire healthcare conundrums. I head the CSR department at a private integrated healthcare group in Egypt, serving mainly middle-class communities. Looking for partners to support the fragmented healthcare in a PPP format uniting for global UHC2030 Vision and National Health Compact Egypt.
This is so informative and well-written! I really appreciated the links and sources you attached, because it can be so difficult to find access to Egyptian public disclosures -- or at least things that should be publicly available. It was refreshing to find something tangible to point to.
It is tragic that you have the resources, highly trained clinicians, state of the art equipment and facilities which is denied by the majority of the people. Very similar story here in the UK too. She would not have been able to afford that kind of care if it happened here. We have wonderful caring doctors and nurses but the state is running the NHS down and has been for many years now.
It sounds like our system. Healthcare Should be a right of every person

This is well done; very informative.
It sounds like Egypt is following the US’s profit-over-people agenda.
Working people cannot afford to get sick; healthcare workers included.
