Egypt Health System Transformation: Towards Universal Health Coverage

Register

Join this AUC School of Business Executive Education Healthcare webinar discussing Egypt’s new Universal Health Insurance Law, “A new horizon for health system evolution,” featuring Dr. Magdy Bakr, technical advisor to the chairman of the General Authority of Health Care (GAHC), and member of the Technical Affairs Committee of the Universal Health Insurance Authority, as well as Mohamed Abdel Aziz Youssef, founder and executive director of the Middle East Council for Small Business & Entrepreneurship (MCSBE-’Maksaby’) and chairman and CEO of Dcode Economic & Financial Consulting (Dcode EFC).

The evident challenges of the health sector in Egypt are attributed to an overtly fragmented system and the conventional low levels of government health spending. The challenges are further augmented by the stressing need for quality services and qualified human resources.

The last five years have witnessed a leap in positioning “Health” as a top national development priority. The new Universal Health Insurance (UHI) law covers health sector transformation and is considered a comprehensive “Health Act” governing the entire healthcare system.

The webinar will highlight:
• Egypt’s health system landscape, opportunities and challenges
• The new Universal Health Insurance (UHI) law and health system transformation
• Egypt’s journey towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC): achievements, challenges and way forward.
