    How does the healthcare system work in Egypt?

    Healthcare in Egypt is split into two sectors – public and private. However, the public sector is generally poorly funded, and most expats opt to use the higher-quality private healthcare system.

    What’s the difference between public and private healthcare in Egypt?


    Público Privado

    Funded through fees for services and treatments.

    Can be poorly funded or with small treatment pools in more rural areas.

    Usually better funded and with wider treatment access.

    How can international health insurance help you in Egypt?

    While public healthcare is free, this doesn’t always apply to expats or tourists. Plus, with the higher quality of private healthcare, many people prefer to use medical insurance in Egypt to help cover any medical bills they incur while in the country. Depending on the package you choose, your insurance could cover the cost of:

    • Overnight hospital stays
    • Ambulance transport
    • Evacuation to another country for medical care
    • Surgeries
    • prescripciones;
    • GP appointments.
