Maait: Allocations for health sector in new budget meet constitution requirements

Finance Minister Mohamed Maait said that the allocation for the health sector has met the constitution requirement in the state’s new budget, despite current challenges globally.

Such challenges are posing unprecedented pressures on economies of different countries worldwide, including Egypt, added Maait in statements on Wednesday.

The allocations for the health sector are reaching 397 billion Egyptian pounds, with an increase of 92.5 billion Egyptian pounds or 30.4 percent, he added.
