In this context, Abdel Ghaffar noted that the Health and Population Ministry and the GAFI have prepared a comprehensive package of investment incentives dedicated to the health sector, offering a range of opportunities in the construction and operation of hospitals across several governorates.
He stressed these incentives are designed to improve the investment climate in the healthcare area.
For his part, the finance minister stressed the government’s keenness to strengthen international partnerships with various institutions to support the Universal Health Insurance System (UHIS), stating that ensuring the financial sustainability of the health sector would enable the expansion of healthcare services for all citizens.
