How the Egypt healthcare system works — public vs private care, eligibility, and costs for residents and visitors.
Egypt’s healthcare system combines Ministry of Health services, the Universal Health Insurance rollout, the Egyptian Healthcare Authority and private providers. Foreign residents should confirm residence status, insurance coverage and provider eligibility before treatment.
- Universal Health Insurance is being rolled out by governorate, not uniformly everywhere.
- Private care is common for expatriates and should be matched with insurance coverage.
- Use official health authority channels for public services and facilities.
