Legal standards for healthcare utility approval
Law No. 87 of 2024 sets the conditions for granting commitments for public utilities to establish, manage, and operate healthcare facilities. It permits the state to allow Egyptian and foreign investors—including natural persons or legal entities—to provide healthcare services without being bound by the old laws governing natural resource facilities, while ensuring the quality of services remains upheld. The conditions include the necessity to maintain the facility's equipment, adhere to healthcare regulations, possess the required expertise, and not relinquish the commitment without the approval of the Council of Ministers. The commitment duration is set between three to fifteen years. Additionally, these obligations must be transferred back to the state in good condition after the contract ends. The law also emphasizes preserving workers' rights by requiring that at least 25% of staff are employed, and that a percentage of the services are offered to beneficiaries at prices determined by the state. The objective of the law is to regulate the investment in healthcare facilities in a manner that ensures quality, sustainability, and workers’ rights, all under strict oversight through decisions issued by the Council of Ministers.
