Dr. Badrawi gives a speech about health care in Egypt

At the invitation of the Egyptian British Business Association, Prof. Dr. Hossam Badrawi participated today as a speaker in the presence of the Minister of Finance, Dr. Mohamed Maait, in a discussion session entitled “New Horizons in Health Care in Egypt” sponsored by the British Egyptian Business Association (BEBA). Dr. Badrawi revealed that 60% of Egyptians pay In return for obtaining health services from their own money and they are not subject to any insurance system. In his speech, he stressed that the comprehensive health insurance system aims to provide an insurance umbrella for all citizens in the country, noting that the new system will provide a 100% free umbrella for citizens. He explained that comprehensive health insurance includes enormous opportunities for the health system in Egypt, whether for the citizen, health investment, or health insurance brokerage companies, which number more than 50 companies. And he called for the need for integration between state institutions, legislative bodies, the private sector, as well as the citizen to provide the expenses required for the formation of the system, with the aim of benefiting from the complete system. He called on the government to present the results of the health insurance pilot project, which was launched in Port Said Governorate, to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the system before disseminating it at the state level.
