Sady: Medical tourism is Egypt's key strength

Dr. Amr Sedky, Secretary-General of the National Council for Medical Tourism, affirmed that Egypt possesses unique qualities that qualify it to become one of the world's leading destinations for health tourism, particularly in the field of medical tourism which includes treatment, recuperation, and prevention according to the World Health Organization's concept. He noted that medical tourism in Egypt has natural advantages such as mineral and sulfur springs and favorable climate conditions, with over 1,300 natural springs that can be developed into integrated health resorts. He emphasized the importance of correcting misconceptions about health tourism and broadening its definition, as well as establishing a legal framework for the sector and recognizing the role of doctors in practicing physiotherapy. Furthermore, he highlighted that Egypt benefits from its unique natural resources, and natural healing is seen as a complementary approach to modern medicine. He stressed the need for market regulation and protecting Egypt's reputation from illegal practices such as intermediaries and impostors, in order to ensure the sustainable development of the healthcare tourism sector.
