Health Minister Clarifies Insulin Import Policy
The Egyptian Minister of Health and Population confirmed that the government has been using locally produced insulin for the past 10 years to treat approximately 3 million citizens, including 2.5 million diabetes patients and 55,000 children with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, as part of the healthcare and government-funded treatment system. He explained that Egyptian insulin is manufactured from raw materials supplied by two international companies and is subject to control by the World Health Organization, ensuring its efficiency and quality to match that of imported insulin. He emphasized the state's commitment to providing essential medicines to citizens, supporting local production, and providing hard currency to Egyptian factories, while also maintaining the import of medicines sold in private pharmacies.
