Healthcare in Egypt

Despite the fact that some legends can describe Egypt as one of the countries which are not completely up to date regarding hospitals or treatments, we must say that healthcare in this country is one of the most respected organisms. You will not have any problem at all when it comes to finding any medical care. If you go to Cairo for instance, you will be able to see numerous centres and hospitals, some of them state run and some of them privately owned hospitals.

Healthcare in Egypt

One of the reasons for Egypt to have a good healthcare is that many of its doctors have been trained in well reputed centres outside the country and besides, the vast majority of them speak English attracting many students from different Arab countries to study medicine in the universities of Egypt. They generally have a high standard of medical knowledge. Medical facilities in Cairo, Alexandria, and Sharm El Sheikh are considered to be perfectly adequate for routine problems, but emergency services can sometimes be limited. That is why we strongly recommend you to take out adequate private medical insurance for your stay in Egypt. Most doctors and hospitals will expect payment in cash, regardless of whether you have travel health insurance, so make sure you arrive with cash on you. Serious medical problems will require air evacuation to a country with more state-of-the-art medical facilities.

There will be an implementation in the public healthcare system, which is supposed to take place in the year 2010. Prior to this implementation, Egyptian government wants to build another 50 new hospitals and they are going to do so using both local and foreign private sector financing.
