Health Minister Reports Cancer Mortality Drop
Egypt has seen a decrease in cancer mortality rates to 82 cases per 100,000 citizens, thanks to improvements in healthcare systems and the government's efforts to enhance healthcare services. Health indicators also showed a decline in kidney disease incidence to 137 cases from 156 per 100,000, and an improvement in reducing mortality among the 30 to 70-year age group to 26%. However, this rate still remains above the targeted goal of 18.5%. Additionally, the proportion of healthcare spending paid out of residents' own pockets has been reduced to 57%, helping to lessen the financial burden on families.
