The healthcare system in Egypt is managed by the Ministry of Health. Coordination of health services across the country and determination of health policies are carried out by this ministry. Health services in Egypt are provided through public and private sector health institutions. The healthcare system in Egypt includes primary, secondary and tertiary healthcare. Primary health services are provided in health centers and health posts. Here, basic health services are provided by family physicians and nurses. Secondary healthcare services are provided in more specialized healthcare facilities such as hospitals and polyclinics. Tertiary healthcare services are provided in specialized hospitals and research centres. Access to healthcare in Egypt is generally free. However, fees may be charged for some private healthcare services and medications. However, there are some problems with access and quality of healthcare. Access to healthcare may be more limited, especially in rural areas. The insurance system in Egypt is generally based on two types of insurance. These are public health insurance and private health insurance. Public health insurance is a compulsory insurance system offered to all Egyptians. This insurance system covers health services provided in public hospitals run by the Ministry of Health. Insurance premiums are deducted from employees' salaries. Private health insurance is a type of insurance that can be purchased individually. This insurance system covers health services provided in private health institutions.
