Comprehensive Health Insurance System to cover new governorates by 2024: Finance Minister

The Minister of Finance and Chairperson of the General Authority for Comprehensive Health Insurance, Mohamed Maait, has announced that the comprehensive health insurance system will cover new governorates by 2024. 

The system aims to provide comprehensive and integrated healthcare for all Egyptian families. The private medical sector will play a greater role as a strategic partner in this national project. The contract prices will attract private sector participation, creating a competitive environment that benefits citizens. This is in line with the state’s commitment to reform and improve the healthcare system.

Maait, who chaired the Authority’s Board meeting on Saturday, stressed the importance of digital transformation and advanced smart solutions to enhance governance and facilitate services for beneficiaries. This requires optimal use of the capabilities and expertise of E-Health, a specialized company in health system technologies.

He also highlighted President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi’s close interest in the executive status of comprehensive health insurance. Al-Sisi always emphasizes the need for financial sustainability and resource growth for the system, ensuring the continuous delivery of healthcare services through this advanced system.
