  • Egypt Health Insurance Information

Healthcare infrastructures in Egypt are generally good; the Egyptian government has invested in the 1980’s to increase the number of Public Hospitals and Healthcare facilities in Egypt. Both rural and city healthcare facilities benefited from new health units in order to provide Egyptians residents with adequate access to improved living conditions. This improvement had a positive impact upon Egyptian Healthcare reputation and perception by residents.
Meanwhile, Egypt enjoys both Public and Private Hospital facilities which may be owned by third parties.
In the late 1980’s further hospitals and units have been improved in urban and rural areas allowing more physicians to treat Egypt residents.
