Nearly 42,000 international patients have received treatment at hospitals run by the General Authority for Healthcare.
Cairo Scene – Medical tourism revenues at hospitals run by Egypt’s General Authority for Healthcare have risen 37% year on year to more than USD 10 million, with nearly 42,000 international patients receiving treatment through the authority’s facilities.
The authority is now expanding its medical tourism strategy, with priority specialties including cosmetic procedures, in-vitro fertilisation, obesity treatment and advanced dental care. It plans to develop integrated medical packages tailored to different international markets and contracting partners.
Further integration is also planned with Tour 4 Cure, Egypt’s national medical tourism platform. Healthcare services across the authority’s facilities will be linked to the platform, alongside digital systems covering referrals, coordination, patient reception and the wider treatment journey.
The next phase of the strategy will focus on increasing both international patient numbers and medical tourism revenues while expanding Egypt’s position in regional and international healthcare markets.
