Al-I'lamy Al-Wuzara notes Fitch praise for "100 Million Health" in diabetes care
A report by Fitch praised the efforts of the "Support Children with Diabetes" initiative within the "One Hundred Million Healthy Lives" program, which was launched in June 2026 to enhance care for children with diabetes as part of Egypt’s broader approach towards prevention and early detection of non-communicable diseases. Fitch expects that this initiative will accelerate the modernization of pediatric diabetes care services through the use of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) technology, thereby reducing the suffering of approximately 55,000 children who previously endured about 3,650 finger pricks annually. Projections also indicate a decrease in emergency visits from 1.11 to 0.08 per child per year, a reduction in hospital admissions from 0.7 to 0.08 cases, and an increase in specialized centers to eight by 2027. These developments are aimed at strengthening treatment adherence, decreasing health complications, and easing the burden on the healthcare system. The initiative specifically targets children aged 4 to 6 years with Type 1 diabetes, providing continuous monitoring devices alongside parental training and medical follow-up, with the goal of serving around 5,000 children over five years.
