Health Minister: 100 Million Initiative Delivers Long-term Benefits
Since 2018, Egyptian health initiatives launched by the Minister of Health have provided 289 million free medical services. These included screenings and early detection of non-communicable diseases, hepatitis C, breast cancer, chronic illnesses, as well as women's, infants', and the elderly's health. They resulted in early disease detection and improved quality of life, in addition to significantly reducing medical costs and economic losses. For example, the hepatitis C elimination campaign achieved a return on investment of 359%, saving approximately 16 billion Egyptian pounds in costs, while also reducing deaths related to hypertension and diabetes by 32.6% and 26%, respectively. This underscores the importance of investing in early health interventions to enhance the country's economy and the well-being of its citizens.
