CBE signs cooperation protocol with health ministry’s medical fund

Hassan Abdallah, Governor of the CBE, and Khaled Abdel-Ghaffar, Deputy Prime Minister for Human Development and Minister of Health and Population, attended the signing ceremony.

Ghada Tawfik, the Governor’s Adviser for Corporate Social Responsibility, signed the agreement on behalf of the CBE, while Ibrahim Abdel-Aty, Executive Director of the Emergency Medical and Genetic Disease Fund, signed on behalf of the Fund.

This protocol is part of the “New Beginning for Human Building” initiative, which the Ministerial Group for Human Development launched in September. The initiative runs for 100 days.

It also aligns with presidential directives to address patient waiting lists and improve access to healthcare.

In addition, the cooperation aims to facilitate necessary surgical interventions for critical cases and treatment for those suffering from rare or genetically caused diseases. It targets particularly those without health insurance coverage.

The protocol also provides financial support to citizens to cover healthcare costs at public, private, and non-profit hospitals.

During the signing, Abdallah said the protocol reflects the CBE's commitment to participating in presidential initiatives to enhance Egyptian citizens’ quality of life and foster human development.
