Egyptian health sector receives support from the World Bank

The World Bank representative in Egypt and Senior Health Specialist Amr el-Shalakani said that the health sector receives the most support from the World Bank, pointing out that the World Bank participated in drafting the idea of the comprehensive health insurance law; passing through its preparation of the law, and then starting its implementation in Port Said.

Shalakani noted that, as a representative of the bank, he communicated directly with citizens to measure the percentage of satisfaction with the new system, where he met with taxi drivers and a number of citizens, and heard from them answers that prove the success of the experiment and cause pride, stressing that the bank continues to support the system.

Shalakani’s remarks came during his speech to the second annual forum of the Health Care Authority, on Saturday in Ismailia, on the occasion of the two-year anniversary of the launch of the system.
