Egypt is rapidly reforming its healthcare system. The government is increasing healthcare spending for 2025–2026, expanding insurance coverage, and investing heavily in healthcare infrastructure and digital health solutions. New legislation enables public–private partnerships, while international collaboration on medical education and workforce development is actively encouraged.
In response to these developments, the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Egypt has identified Life Sciences & Health (LSH) as a priority sector and commissioned a comprehensive Market Scan of the Egyptian healthcare sector, conducted by Task Force Health Care (TFHC). Are you active in Egypt or exploring opportunities in this promising market? Join our webinar on 9 September 2026 to gain practical insights into the Egyptian healthcare sector and discover opportunities for Dutch organisations.

About Egypt
Egypt’s healthcare market is characterized by a population of approximately 118 million and a pluralistic system combining an extensive but underfunded public sector with a rapidly expanding private sector. While public services provide a broad safety net, persistent gaps in financing, infrastructure, and service quality have led a majority of patients to seek care privately, resulting in one of the world’s highest levels of out-of-pocket health expenditure. The private sector now delivers most healthcare contacts and is widely perceived as more responsive and higher quality.
At the same time, Egypt is implementing major reforms, including the rollout of a Universal Health Insurance System (UHCS) and expanded roles for private providers, aimed at reducing fragmentation, modernizing services, and attracting investment. These dynamics position Egypt as a high-need, high-potential market for innovative and sustainable healthcare solutions.
Under Egypt Vision 2030 and the National Health Strategy 2024–2030, the government has made universal, high-quality, and financially sustainable healthcare a central priority. These strategies emphasize improved governance, efficiency, accountability, and clearer public–private roles, aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals.
Recent policy measures reinforce this momentum, creating a timely window for engagement and strategic partnerships in the sector.
