Deputy Saeed reports drop in pharmacy enrollments
The article discusses the crisis surrounding the regulation and allocation of government internship opportunities for graduates of pharmacy, dentistry, and physical therapy programs in Egypt. It pointed out the poor coordination between the Ministries of Higher Education and Health, which has led to the haphazard opening of private colleges without quality standards, and an increase in the number of graduates seeking government placement. It emphasized that recent amendments have caused a 40-50% decline in student interest in these fields, especially after the suspension of internship placements. Despite an excess of graduates in pharmacy, dentistry, and physical therapy, Egypt faces a shortage of healthcare professionals overall. The allocation process is region-based, with unclear assessment criteria and distribution mechanisms. The Minister of Health clarified that the internship process depends on labor market needs, not a constitutional right, and that the ministry is committed to a system based on actual demand.
