Health Ministry outlines senior citizen healthcare results
Since 2022, the Egyptian Ministry of Health has launched an initiative to care for the elderly, successfully providing free medical services to approximately 2.97 million citizens aged 65 and older until mid-2026. The initiative focuses on early detection of chronic and non-communicable diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases through comprehensive screenings at primary care units using the latest protocols. It also includes assessments of mental and functional health to identify early-stage memory disorders and depression, along with a follow-up system, regular health cards, and referral of cases requiring advanced treatment to various hospitals—all free of charge. The goal is to reduce complications and improve the quality of life for senior citizens.
