President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has directed the allocation of one billion Egyptian pounds from the “Tahya Misr” fund to support the initiative to end waiting lists for critical surgeries in Egypt.

Waiting lists for critical surgeries can be a source of great stress and suffering for patients and their families. Delayed access to treatment can lead to complications and worsening of health conditions, and in some cases, can even result in fatalities. The initiative to end waiting lists for critical surgeries in Egypt is an important step towards ensuring that patients receive timely and high-quality medical care, without the added burden of financial costs.

The initiative covers a wide range of medical specialties, including some of the most common and life-threatening conditions, such as open-heart surgery, joint replacement surgery, kidney and liver transplants, and oncological surgeries. By providing these services free of charge and centrally distributing patients to affiliated hospitals, the initiative can minimize wait times and provide urgent care to those in need.

Moreover, the initiative also aims to improve the quality of care provided to patients by monitoring cases and receiving feedback from patients on the waiting list hotline. This helps to ensure that patients receive the best possible care and that the initiative remains responsive to the needs of the community.

The Success of the Initiative to End Waiting lists for critical surgeries in Egypt So Far

Since its launch in July 2018, the initiative to end waiting lists for critical surgeries has made significant progress in providing urgent care to those in need. With over 1.6 million surgeries completed and a dedicated hotline for patients on the waiting list, the initiative has been able to provide timely and high-quality medical care to thousands of patients across the country.

Moreover, the initiative has also helped to prevent the accumulation of new waiting lists for critical surgeries, ensuring that patients receive the care they need without facing long wait times or financial burdens.

The Role of the Tahya Misr Fund

The Tahya Misr Fund was established in 2014 by President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi to support development and investment projects in Egypt. The fund is supported by donations from the public, private companies, and other sources, and is overseen by a board of trustees chaired by the President himself.

The allocation of one billion Egyptian pounds from the fund to support the initiative to end waiting lists for critical surgeries is a testament to the importance of this initiative for the country’s development and the well-being of its citizens. The Tahya Misr Fund has played a crucial role in supporting various development projects in Egypt, from infrastructure improvements to healthcare initiatives.
