Egyptian Medical Syndicate on Vet Hiring
Current proposals indicate that the crisis of shortages of human doctors in Egypt is primarily attributed to the emigration of doctors abroad, which ranges from 4,000 to 7,000 doctors annually, rather than a deficiency in the total number of registered doctors. The President of the Society for Animal Welfare suggested replacing veterinarians with human doctors to fill the gap, based on the fact that studying veterinary medicine partially overlaps with human medicine, as veterinarians study about 50% of the same subjects, and they could be qualified to work in the human medical field within one or two years. However, Egyptian medical experts, such as the Secretary-General of the Medical Syndicate, rejected this proposal, considering that differences in anatomy and disease make replacing human doctors with veterinarians unfeasible. The true solution, they argue, lies in improving working conditions, salaries, and training to reduce doctor migration and ensure fair distribution of medical personnel within Egypt.
