Dr. Badrawi participates in a seminar in London

In an important dialogue, Dr. Mohamed Maait, Minister of Finance, explained the new health insurance system that the government is introducing and starting to implement in Port Said.
Prof. Dr. Hossam Badrawi gave a speech about his experience as a policy maker in Parliament, as a health care service provider through Nile Badrawi Hospital, and as an insured in his capacity as the founder of Medicare Middle East, the first health insurance company in Egypt for thirty years, and as a practitioner of the profession as one of the leading doctors in Egypt.
Dr. Badrawi explained the importance of defining the role of the Ministry of Health as a regulator of the profession and a guarantor of justice, efficiency and comprehensiveness of the service.
As for health insurance, its goal is to sustain health care financing, which is a first-class financial issue within the framework of actuarial studies and an economic concept in which the state finances citizens, each according to his abilities.
He stressed the importance of primary health care and presented multiple investment opportunities in the field of health and the pharmaceutical industry.
Dr. Ziyad Bahaa El-Din, former Deputy Prime Minister, stressed the importance of regulating health care within a legal framework that allows the private sector and the public/private sector to partner, and the importance of attracting investments in the education and health sectors.
Dr. Bahaa El-Din criticized the government’s decision to set a ceiling for foreign investment at 20% in the field of education, and indicated that the message issued by the state with this decision, which was issued suddenly, does not encourage investment in Egypt and must be reverted.
Dr. Maait, Dr. Bahaa El-Din, Dr. Badrawi, along with the president of JSK for the pharmaceutical industry and representatives of Vodafone, which is responsible for the digital system in the application of health insurance in Port Said, Dr. Magdy Ishaq, a member of the Board of Trustees of the Magdi Yacoub Charitable Foundation, and Dr. Ahmed Ezz, CEO of Cleopatra Company, which owns 6 hospitals in Egypt, answered Ali Questions from the attendees and the keenness of all to mention investment opportunities in Egypt.
It is worth mentioning that the conference was prepared for it and the attendance was coordinated by the Egyptian British Chamber of Commerce, led by Professor Nadia Lamloum and in the presence of the officials of the Egyptian Embassy.
The Egyptian ambassador in London invites the conference members to a dinner party today at the headquarters of the Egyptian embassy in support of the efforts made by the private and private sectors to attract investment in Egypt.
