Ahmed El-Sobky, Chairman of the Egyptian Healthcare Authority, stated that the nation is experiencing a significant surge in medical tourism, with revenues leaping by 76.7 per cent to $8 million in 2025.
El-Sobky said a total of 35,000 medical tourists from 124 countries were treated in Egypt last year. According to him, this growth is driven by substantial upgrades to healthcare services and the rising quality of care across the Authority’s facilities.
El-Sobky highlighted the Authority’s vision to establish Egypt as a premier global medical tourism destination under the brand “In Egypt We Care”.
He emphasized that the next phase will focus on expanding strategic partnerships with private insurance companies and brokers to attract a higher volume of international patients.
