Khaled Abdel Ghaffar on Egypt ICU Crisis
The article addresses the crisis of intensive care in Egypt and its severity due to the increasing number of cases. Minister of Health Khaled Abdel Ghaffar confirmed that the problem is not only related to the number of available beds but also to the staffing of medical teams, including doctors and nurses. He explained that the ministry has collaborated with civil society and banks to fund bed operations, which has helped increase the number of beds from one thousand to two thousand. He also noted that waiting times in some governorates have dropped to zero, while in Cairo they may exceed 24 hours, despite global standards indicating 7-8 hours. The ministry is working to reduce waiting times through expanding beds and improving staffing, along with implementing a complete digitization system that connects hospitals to monitor occupancy rates and patient length of stay, all aimed at enhancing the quality of care and reducing waiting periods.
